Squid - Houseplants (Official Audio)

[@maxwellfriedlaender3309]

"Kids Are Getting Smarter But The Rent Ain't Getting Cheaper" is such a mantra. This song spoke to me IMMEDIATELY.

When punk bands punk too hard, they inadvertently turn into a jazz band. Happens all the time.

[@soijustlistenedto...]

That "ooo" makes me happy. It's so adorable. It's like hearing Lorde's "tch tch" in Perfect Places and Phoebe Bridger's little "ooh" before Kyoto's first chorus. Love it!

[@cpu278]

A Byrne-esque clusterfuck of magnificence

[@ShadaOfAllThings]

been a while since I've heard a song that encapsulates all my feelings of anxiety so perfectly

[@that1facester]

I must've heard this song a few hundred times now and it still gives me chills head-to-toe. Absolute perfection.

@tubetardism 20/20 the power drumming, the angular synth lines, melodic bass, the spacey production. It doesnt sound like a talking heads track, but it definitely pulls inspiration. Hell theres a talking heads refrence at the end. Spread more love and tone down the superiority complex dude.
