Potentially the best bass line of the year so far

[@codybrady6940]

Bro hasn't listened to AotY (Chat Pile)

[@MaudeScho]

The piano on this track is absolutely beautiful.

[@gnolkthegnelk824]

Squid will never stop taking my expectations and handing it back to me folded 27 times

[@LustzyGutzy]

This was my first ever Squid song I discovered. 56 minutes after it was released, when I was on my school account. I absolutely love your music, Squid. I want to discover more of your music, it's wonderful. I play this song on repeat.

[@benonaru]

YESSSS

[@autismatic]

Takashi Ito is goated!!!!!! Love this combination

[@williamstewart9031]

Both the song AND the a video are a work of art! The boys are back, gents!

[@skilledfully]

This track was so good live. LP3 is going to be insane

[@absolutelygnarly]

best band in the world right now imo

[@retropilgrim]

Totally different vibes, yet perfectly recognizable squid song. And I also love the creepy/cryptic lyrics for the song!

[@zalamazu]

A new Squid song is exactly what I needed right now 😭 (I’m American)

[@andrewsnell1170]

Alternatively, another person over on the new VIAL premiere commented today that hearing queer people really SCREAMING is also cathartic

[@Mauricio-Saucedo]

@@zalamazu Don’t panic mate, everything is going to be alright, my sincere wishes to you! We are lucky to live in an era where bands as Squid exist!

[@FourteenWords-n4l]

​@@Mauricio-Saucedo I take it their political views lean to the extreme left? The music is brillant. Be a shame to let ideology ruin it for anyone. Take care mo cara.

[@Mauricio-Saucedo]

@@FourteenWords-n4l I’ll probably bet the same about their political ideology. And I agree, is a shame to let ideology affect or ruin someone, we are talking about music, let’s just enjoy the moment of having such great bands nowadays we are lucky , take care too, cheers mate!

[@FourteenWords-n4l]

@@Mauricio-Saucedo 100 percent. 👍

[@serdarkinay5077]

More bands should use experimental short films as music videos

[@literallynull]

black midi started the trend and I love it

[@Menvajea]

​@@literallynullI think he was talking about setting music to existing film/videos. I don't recall black midi ever doing that unless I'm mistaken.

[@AlexSilva-nx7zv]

im from brazil and try to listen all type of music, squid is on the best bands i've found and to those who likes too, i recommend Os Mutantes, prog rock from brazil

[@luisgustavovieira549]

Mais um brasileiro que gosta de squid

[@takuyasugiyama]

BIG UP 伊藤高志！

[@jodylester9118]

Loved this song when y'all played it in Nashville, and I'm beyond thrilled to hear the recorded version.

[@jnnx]

I think you are thrilled, you aren’t “beyond thrilled” (which would mean you aren’t thrilled anymore). Words have MEANING, people!

I dunno who you guys are but this is the coolest shit I've ever seen/ heard. That ending was intense.

[@warhellride]

Oh you gotta check out their other stuff, my friend. Highly recommend their first LP called Bright Green Field and the singles they released prior to that. ESPECIALLY the song Houseplants! If you like this, you are in for a treat. Enjoy!!

[@Littleneddygtw]

truly great. and who are you. who you are. who are we. next life will be better

[@claudiojaramillo5177]

What an absolute banger. Squid never ceases to amaze me... I wish I could watch you perform live soon

[@rolandcr]

I love how they left in the out of pitch singing at 05:09 mark. Lovely

[@grantsrawesome]

If any of the band members are reading this. Thank you. This song is angry, beautiful, and euphoric all in one. “Hit them once, not again” ✊.

[@gabrielkoewers9733]

That's life.

[@JingoLinx]

A powerful song about the guilt and shame that we carry as a consequence of our desire to eat the flesh of other living beings. I admire the honesty. Brilliant song.

[@psychrockvinyl]

I didn’t get that vibe at all from the lyrics. Seems more about hiding the truth of war or something like that

[@pandap4ntz]

This is what I thought of as well; I feel constant guilt about all the chicken I eat, because they are treated deplorably in the factory farm industry. I don't feel bad eating beef, fish and venison because my parents have free range cattle, and ofc deer and fresh caught fish are also living freely in the wild... But man oh man, idk, I feel like if we need to treat animals in cruel and confining ways just to sustain our population, then perhaps we've gone too far...? 🤷‍♀️

[@pandap4ntz]

​@@psychrockvinylI can see your pov too btw. That's good writing, allowing for everyone to draw their own conclusions on the meaning.

[@diemtivee5649]

lmao I have no guilt about eating animals, they're literally mine and all of humankinds to use at our disposal from God

[@psychrockvinyl]

Love these guys! Always happy when there’s more squid in the world!!

[@diemtivee5649]

The part that starts at 3:20 is pretty spectacular

[@StuartQuinn]

I think this is their best song yet!

[@joshuatealeaves]

The bass and groove on this song reminds me of Tortoises - Djed. If you’re reading this and don’t know about that song or album it’s on you have a classic waiting on you

[@lorebroker52]

it is mixed by John McEntire... ;-)

[@joshuatealeaves]

@ Nooooo way! Omg dude I have to pat myself on the back real quick. My ear is sharp asf

[@lorebroker52]

It has some of the energy of Radiohead around Hail To The Thief and On Rainbows.

[@WiloPolis03]

​@@lorebroker52Oh shoot, the post-rock man himself! Love his work with Stereolab

[@maziiizen]

I heard you all perform this live in Istanbul. Thank you for coming and thank you for this song. I have changed in an unexplainable way ever since hearing this live.

[@FachyMarin]

You made my friday hella better Squid. Thanks guys!

So much good music has been released recently or is going to release god damn - Amazing track and incredible music video!

[@DrOz-007]

Can we have another direct-to-laquer recording, like you did for Near The Westway? That sounded awesome!

[@paulwinter6982]

Saw them in Bristol last October and this kicked arse, still sounding great now. Cheers guys ❤

[@jackdaw123456]

Amazing

[@salvlox_]

Thank you Squid

[@Strik9]

Painting with light is fun

[@skemps]

I really like Squid, find their music fascinating, but I struggle to listen for long because it fuels my anxiety. This is a good example, I'm enjoying listening to it, but I know I'll be relieved when it's finished. Weird, I know. But carry on.

I love Squid. The vocals on this have a bit of a Mark E Smith sound/feel to them at times (which isn't a bad thing).

I always knew I'm not alone who thinked like that. Especially on Bright Green Field. Squid sounds like a mix of The Fall, This Heat and Talking Heads to me
