Biography
Squid is an English band that formed in Brighton in 2016, known for their experimental and genre-defying sound that merges post-punk, krautrock, and jazz-funk. Led by the distinctive yelped vocals and drumming of Ollie Judge, the quintet creates a tense, sprawling, and energetic sonic landscape. After gaining traction with their 'Town Centre' EP on the #Speedy Wunderground# label, they signed to #Warp Records# for their critically acclaimed debut album, 'Bright Green Field'. Their music, often compared to artists like *Talking Heads* and *This Heat*, is characterized by angular guitars, atmospheric synths, and propulsive, complex rhythms.
