Bright Green Field
Squid announce their debut album, âBright Green Fieldâ, already one of 2021âs most highly anticipated releases.
Produced by Dan Carey, âBright Green Fieldâ is an album of towering scope and ambition, it is deeply considered, paced and intricately constructed. With all band members playing such a vital and equal role, this album is very much the product of five heads operating as one.
âBright Green Fieldâ features field recordings of ringing church bells, tooting bees, microphones swinging from the ceiling orbiting a room of guitar amps and a distorted choir of 30 voices, as well as a horn and string ensemble featuring the likes of Emma-Jean Thackray and Lewis Evans from Black Country, New Road.
Squidâs music - be it agitated and discordant or groove-locked and flowing - has often been a reflection of the tumultuous world we live in and this continues that to some extent. âThis album has created an imaginary cityscape,â says Ollie Judge, who writes the majority of the lyrics and plays drums. âThe tracks illustrate the places, events and architecture that exist within it. Previous projects were playful and concerned with characters, whereas this project is darker and more concerned with place - the emotional depth of the music has deepened.â
For all the innovative recording techniques, evolutionary leaps, lyrical themes, ideas and narratives that underpin the album, itâs also a joyous and emphatic record. One that marries the uncertainties of the world with a curious sense of exploration as it endlessly twists and turns down unpredictable avenues.
