Over the last eighteen months, Squid has become one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the UK. Today, they announce their eagerly awaited debut album, Bright Green Field (Warp Records), out May 7th, and lead single/video, “Narrator” feat. Martha Skye Murphy. Produced by Dan Carey,  Bright Green Field is an album of towering scope and ambition that endlessly twists down unpredictable avenues. Each member – Louis Borlase  (guitars/vocals), Oliver Judge (drums/vocals), Arthur Leadbetter  (keyboards / strings / percussion), Laurie Nankivell (bass/brass) and Anton Pearson  (guitars / vocals) – played an equal, vital role in the album’s creation.

Bright Green Field was initially written in Judge’s old local pub and recorded in Carey’s London basement studio. It features field recordings of ringing church bells, tooting bees, microphones swinging from the ceiling orbiting a room of guitar amps, a distorted choir of 30 voices as well as a horn and string ensemble featuring the likes of Emma-Jean Thackray and Lewis Evans from Black Country, New Road.
