Waking Up With New Bloodcurdling SQUID Single ‘UDERGROWTH’

Posted on by JL

Daily noise that works faster and harder than any stimulant

19 April 2023


(promo 📸 by Studio UJ)

Brighton‘s hit team SQUID launch their 2nd full length,
called O MONOLITH on 9 June. More info here.

Ahead of it comes new piece UNDERGROWTH
following lead single Swing (In A Dream).

Ollie Judge (drummer/vocalist): ‘Undergrowth’ was written from the perspective of
me being reincarnated as a bedside table in the afterlife, and how the thought of being reincarnated as an inanimate object would be dreadful. ‘This isn’t what I wanted/ So many options to be disappointed.’ Even though I’m in no way religious I don’t think anyone who
isn’t religious is confident enough to not have had the fleeting thought of ‘Fuck, what if
there is it an afterlife? What if I’m going to Hell?’”

Undergrowth moves like a snake in slow motion, anytime ready to attack.
Goosebumps tension all the way with Judge’s menacing vocals, flipped-out
guitars, and synths sounding like horns and vice versa, keeping you at the
front of your seat for 6.35 minutes.

Be ready.

Vocal Tour De Force – New Single ‘UNDERGROWTH’ By TOM JOSHUA

Posted on by JL

Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…

8 September 2020

Artist: TOM JOSHUA

Who: A singer-songwriter from Teeside, North East England who hit the scene back in
2017 with heartfelt debut single Meteor Showers. Tom’s love of harmonies stems from
an early appreciation of Simon and Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac and more recently Sigur Ros, melded together with potent lyricism inspired by favourites such as Nick Drake, Feist and Big Thief.

Pick: UNDERGROWTH – the song is rooted in the surroundings of Tom’s home
near Stockton-on-Tees and inspired by a surreal dream sequence conceived while
out walking the dog. The same-titled debut EP will be out next month.

Score: Joshua‘s powerful voice draws your aural attention from the very start.
A truly impassioned and wholehearted vocal tour de force while the sky-high
melody, going forth and back, up and down, could easily be on a Vampire Weekend
album. Undergrowth is a king-sized effort, a first-class composition and a captivating experience. Five stars songwriting. Just magnificent.

Listen/watch and get impressed…
