Aside from having one of the top EPs of 2019 with Town Centre, in 2020 Brighton band Squid released their grooving single ‘Sludge’. Refusing to slow down the momentum, they now bring forth their latest track titled ‘Broadcaster’. Once again proving that musically they are one of the most diverse bands out today, Squid delve into the realms of psychedelic and synthwave, as a sequenced synth line lay atop spacey layers. There is also an element of drone incorporated into the production which flows without drums. Another killer offering, the track is taken from their ‘Sludge/Broadcaster’ pack, which will also land on vinyl via Warp Records on June 26th.

Touching on the single, Squid’s Ollie Judge mentioned:

“Lyrically the track was inspired by the visual artist Naim June Paik and his TV Garden installation. I thought it blurred the lines between a dystopian and utopian vision. I imagined what it must be like living synonymously amongst nature and technology in the most literal way I could imagine, with TVs towering over me amongst forests.”
