Brighton band Squid are back with ‘Broadcaster’, their new AA-side companion to recent offering ‘Sludge’.
Both tracks are getting a limited edition vinyl pressing release on June 26 via new label Warp Records, featuring an extended version of ‘Broadcaster’.
‘Broadcaster’ is built around an arpeggiated synth sequence, as guitars, drum machines and delays join the fray, pushing the track into its chaotic and visceral crescendo.
“Lyrically the track was inspired by the visual artist Naim June Paik and his TV Garden installation," says singer Ollie Judge. "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.”
