News: Squid release sophomore album O Monolith

SQUID’s sophomore album O MONOLITH is out now via Warp Records. Thrillingly complex, hugely
varied and strikingly evocative, O Monolith mixes avant-garde and progressive song-writing with their
knack for harnessing irresistible grooves and delivering punch.

O Monolith follows on from their 2021 critically acclaimed debut album Bright Green Field, which
reached #4 in the UK album charts. Like its processor, O Monolith is dense and tricksy but also more
warm and characterful with a meandering, questioning nature. Teeming with melodic epiphanies and
layered sounds, O Monolith is a musical evocation of the environment, domesticity and self-made
folklore. The record captures modern anxieties and foreboding futures and wraps them through a
distinctly English lens.
