Teeming with melodic epiphanies and layered sounds, Squid’s second album O Monolith is a musical evocation of environment, domesticity and self-made 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.

All the Flair, Less of the Fuss

Squid are back again, and - it seems - a little more focused this time. I loved the last album, but they've really sieved through for those pearl moments on this one, and discarded anything that isn't absolutely necessary. That's not to say there isn't any flair or moments of ostentatiousness - there's plenty - but it all serves the O Monolith cause. Brilliant. Blue vinyl edition from Warp Records.
