New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Next Friday, May 7th, Squid will release their debut album, Bright Green Field, via Warp Records. Ahead of its release, they present a new single, "Pamphlets," and announce their first-ever US tour. Squid have long been praised for their kinetic live shows, recently being named one of the best bands at SXSW 2021 by The New York Times and Paste. New single "Pamphlets" further previews this energy. It "concludes [Bright Green Field] with eight minutes of Can-ish skyward populsion - the delirious release which justifies all the foregoing tension" (MOJO). Squid drummer and lyricist Ollie Judge elaborates: "It's about all the rubbish right-wing propaganda you get through your front door. It imagines a person with that as their only source of news being taken over by these pamphlets."

Each single - "Pamphlets," "Paddling," and "Narrator" - shows that Bright Green Field is a debut of towering scope and ambition. Produced by Dan Carey, Bright Green Field is deeply considered, paced and intricately constructed. The five band members - Louis Borlase (guitars/vocals), Oliver Judge (drums/vocals), Arthur Leadbetter (keyboards/strings/ percussion), Laurie Nankivell (bass/brass) and Anton Pearson (guitars/vocals) - worked as a unit, playing an equal and vital role in its creation.

Squid's music has often been a reflection of the tumultuous world we live in. As an album title, Bright Green Field conjures an almost tangible imagery of pastoral England. However, it's something of a decoy that captures the band's fondness for paradox and juxtaposition. Although the geography of Bright Green Field is an imaginary cityscape built from monolithic concrete buildings and dystopian visions, it's also a joyous and emphatic record that marries the uncertainties of the world with a curious sense of exploration.
