Having released their critically acclaimed LP Bright Green Field back in May of this year, Squid now unveil a remixed EP. The record features a rework of their track ‘Global Groove’ by none other than industrial pioneer and experimental artist Cosey Fanni Tutti of Throbbing Gristle and Chris & Cosey / Carter Tutti fame. Squid have also enlisted London producer Lorraine James to provide a remix of ‘Narrator’.

With both tunes leaning on the experimental side, Cosey Fanni Tutti provides an abstract makeover which incorporates minimal wave, industrial and post-punk all etched with surreal sound design. Lorraine James delivers a bouncy splash of free electronica, that whilst quite unorthodox, is ripe with stellar melodies.

Perhaps the Bright Green Field Remixes EP will be the first in a series of further reworks to come down the pipeline.

Touching on the remixes, Squid mentioned:

“What an honour to have Cosey Fanni Tutti and Lorraine James reinterpreting tracks from Bright Green Field. It’s no secret we love electronic music and we couldn’t be happier with them. Cosey takes you on a dubby voyage to unexplored space with her remix of Global Groove and Lorraine on the flip takes Narrator to even more paranoid heights.”

Cosey Fanni Tutti added:

“As soon as I heard the song there were certain sounds that immediately inspired me. But a huge factor in what accepting me to do the remix was the free adventurous and experimental approach to making music which fits so well with how i work. So to be given free reign to do whatever I wanted was brilliant. I got pretty forensic extracting fragments of sound as well as deconstructing, manipulating, sampling adding new sounds and rearranging new tracks…I loved every minute of diving into the world of Squid.”
