What with all the pastoral splendour that you’d be forgiven for associating with a title like
Bright Green Field, a towering monolith of pharmaceutical power shouldn’t be the first image that springs to mind upon pressing play. But the widely-anticipated debut album from Squid was never going to be an easy one to predict. Whilst the gleaming panelled structure of the GlaxoSmithKline headquarters was enough to provide a paradoxical springboard for the band to leap from, drummer and lead vocalist Ollie Judge’s broader vision of a sinister capitalist and bureaucratic dystopia is in graphic high definition on instant tone setter, ‘GSK’.

Squid aren’t an easy band to pin down. Live, they’re a mesh of arms and legs working in semi-unison – perhaps that’s where the sub-aqueous name comes from? – a group of musicians who yearn for spaces new, and ideas hitherto unexplored. On record, too, they’ve proved continually that resting on their laurels isn’t an option. Debut album ‘Bright Green Field’ encapsulates this, eschewing their prior works – that
stellar EP, or 2020 singles ‘Sludge’ and ‘Broadcaster’ – in favour of wiping the slate clean, and starting anew.
It’s proved to be a daring, and emphatically correct decision. A wrecking ball of innovative ideas that refuses to be wrestled into a pigeonhole, ‘Bright Green Field’ is an invigorating, inspired listen, and holds its head high as one of the most complete guitar debuts 2021 will witness.
