Brighton‘s rackety indie stars SQUID hit the bullseye immediately with their debut LP Bright Green Field that came out in 2021 and went Top-5 in the UK and with their sophomore album O Monolith they tripled their fanbase.

They will even enlarge their huge following with album #3 baptized
Cowards. It’ll come our way on 7 February 2025. More info here.
Following steamed-up first single Crispy Skin
they throw a second preview to our ears.
Ollie Judge (singer/drummer) about BUILDING 650 on the single.“It’s a song inspired
by our first ever trip to Japan. On the plane I read in the Miso Soup by Ryu Murikami and watched Lost in Translation out of excitement and later decided to write lyrics about being
an outsider visiting Japan, including a very particular type of loneliness one can feel visiting a country that is so different from their own. This loneliness feels exaggerated in Tokyo, on the surface it’s hectic and full of people but when you listen, it’s eerily quiet.”
Haunting tune.
Scary vibe.
