Based in Bristol, Squid’s collaborative approach fosters a democratic creative process. Recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, the new setting added environmental themes and British folk influences. Lockdown shaped Ollie Judge’s introspective lyrics, with horror imagery and themes like climate anxiety.
Collaborations with Dan Carey and John McEntire enriched their sound, including distinctive Fairlight sampler synths. Ollie’s expanded vocal range shines in tracks like "The Blades." O Monolith retains Squid’s restless spirit while offering varied sounds and themes.
Squid will bring their dynamic live performance to Sofia on October 4th. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience their energy and intricate soundscapes in person.
