For fans of: New Developments in Post-Punk

What they're saying: Pitchfork reviewer Madison Bloom notes Bright Green Field’s diverse set of well integrated influences: “Like magpies, Squid stockpile scraps of jazz, funk, krautrock, dub, and punk, uninterested in adopting a single identity.” And Squid scored a rare five-star rating from NME, here’s an excerpt from the Will Richards penned review:

“Across the album, which tops 50-minutes in length, the band veer between genres, styles and moods with abandon, mirroring the frightening, ever-changing political and cultural landscape it was created in. On certain songs, most notably funked-up single ‘Paddling’, the band lock into the kind of intoxicating art-punk groove that they mastered on 2019 single ‘Houseplants’, while other tracks see them let form melt away and be replaced by avant-garde instrumentals that bring out the band’s jazz leanings.

What we say: Still more excellent 21st century angular post punk from the UK. Like if genre-bending groundbreakers The Pop Group could write a catchy tune.
