But when English rock band Squid mention a âconcrete islandâ in the first minutes of Bright Green Field, itâs closer to the infamous prison than a Sandals resort. The isle in âG.S.K.â is a dystopian slab ruled by Big Pharma, and the recordâs opening scene, as shouted by drummer and vocalist Ollie Judge, confines us to this grim locale: âAs the sun sets, on the Glaxo Klein/Well itâs the only way that I can tell the time,â he sings. On this barren rock, the British drug conglomerate is the towering center of daily lifeâso big, it acts like a sundial. âIslandâ never sounded so angry or claustrophobic.
