Description
Teeming with melodic epiphanies and layered sounds, Squid’ s second album O Monolith is a musical evocation of environment, domesticity and selfmade folklore. Like its predecessor, 2021’ s critically acclaimed, UK number 4 album Bright Green Field, it is dense and tricksy – but also more warm and characterful, with a meandering, questioning nature. Expansive, evocative and hugely varied, O Monolith retains Squid’ s restless, enigmatic spirit, but it still holds surprises for those familiar with Bright Green Field. It’ s a reflection of the outsized progression of a band always looking to the future. Like its namesake, O Monolith is vast and strange alive with endless possible interpretations of its inner mysteries.
