Took three listens but it’s Narrator quality too. Most anticipated album rn. Nonetheless, crack cloud still got overlooked last year.
Discovering these guys has brought me the same exilerating rush I experienced when I discovered Idles.
I always thought hip-hop was my favourite genre of music but I think that is more down to the quality of music that genre has experienced from genre pushing artists over the last 10 years or so (I only properly got "into" music since 2015 really). But when I hear "post-punk" or whatever genre you want to call this done so well like Squid have been doing and Idles have ... read more
Embora as comparações com Talking Heads sejam um pouco desconcertantes e afetem um pouco a originalidade que Squid vem apresentando, Paddling ainda é uma excelente amostra do que essa banda traz: é a sensação de um post-punk progressivo, que engaja a cada minuto e que te transporta para uma experiência que fica na cabeça pela repetição, seja nas palavras, seja no ritmo ascendente de sua instrumentalização. E se ... read more
I like to imagine an actual squid singing and playing all the instruments when I listen. The Joy Division comparisons are accurate, but squid gives the track a big helping of their oddball post-punk sound. I'm so excited for the album

I've been trying to see if I'm just missing something out of this single because people have been seeming to enjoy this just as much as Narrator, but after numerous listens I still find this track rather underwhelming. I feel with the album's context it would improve the track because when it ends it just feels like a very solid cliffhanger (which can be a good and bad thing, but unfortunately for this track it definitely leans on the bad thing end more heavily). In comparison to Squid's ... read more
Em Paddling, single de Bright Green Field, a banda Squid parece querer fazer o publico entrar em um transe hipnótico que ajuda a entender toda a grandiosidade da sonoridade da banda.
Com um pouco mais de seis minutos, Paddling é uma mistura bem azeitada, rica, eletrizante e impressionante de rock, punk, indie rock e toques de rock industrial que poderia desandar em uma suruba sem sentido, mas, felizmente, ganha um corpo extremamente bem definido devido a extraordinária ... read more
Edit: Changing score to 90. It was 80.
After the second single, Squid has not lost my attention at all. I'm still super pumped for this album. These guys are so innovative.
