An outtake from their second LP ‘O Monolith’, ‘Fugue’ dives into drummer/vocalist Ollie Judge’s interest in animism by imagining a bin coming to life: “Animism, I’m in your grip / You help me make sense of all this / I see the surface every day / Animated alive through yellow spray.”
On their social media, Squid wrote: “Bin Song is now out of the bin! Some of you might remember this song that was called Fugue from our live set over the last few years, was a pretty permanent fixture for a long while!
“This track never made it onto O Monolith but is taken from a session with Dan Carey at Real World in Spring 2022 + thanks to John McEntire for adding some magic.”
NME reviewed ‘O Monolith’ back in June, where we said in a four-star review: “If Squid can make daring, experimental music sound as fun as this, then they will take some stopping.”
