Grand Designs: Squid
With sold-out tours and a Top Five debut album, Squid transcended the post-punk revival and became a unique powerhouse. On second album ‘O Monolith’, the irresistibly restless quintet are looking to the natural world to continue their evolution.

The post-punk band’s second album is out on 9th June.
The band have also announced a 2024 North American tour.
They're sharing reworkings of 'Narrator' and 'Global Groove'.
From domestic ‘Houseplants’ to AI technology and musings on future dystopias, Squid’s journey to debut ‘Bright Green Field’ has been a forward-facing odyssey.

"When planning the music videos for this album we wanted to make sure we covered a few different mediums, so we're super happy to have a freaky animation ticked off the list."
Squid always seemed destined to have an epic album in them, and they’ve delivered just that.

"The result was a collage made using any instruments and tools that we each had available to us.”
Squid, Katy J Pearson and more will perform from the festival site.
All proceeds will be donated to Bristol Food Bank.
The new visuals were directed by Wieslawa Ruta.
They've also announced a new limited edition vinyl.
