Squid - Bright Green Field 2LP (black vinyl)

Across the album, which tops 50-minutes in length, the band veer between genres, styles and moods with abandon, mirroring the frightening, ever-changing political and cultural landscape it was created in. On certain songs, most notably funked-up single ‘Paddling’, the band lock into the kind of intoxicating art-punk groove that they mastered on 2019 single ‘Houseplants’, while other tracks see them let form melt away and be replaced by avant-garde instrumentals that bring out the band’s jazz leanings. A rewarding listen.
