Squid - Bright Green Field (Warp 2021)

the guy totally is doing a MES / Byrne / Hell / ?mashup thing… or maybe just James Murphy, lol. The music sounds good, but the vox are a big impediment for me (even though I like some of those other singers).

Like ufo, I hear plenty of Talking Heads in the gtr – but yeah the grooves are stiffer

my first impression was that he was doing both XTC vocalists circa-White Music at once.

can definitely see why some people might not be able to get past that but I think he's good for this group. plus the decision to make his voice so crisp & up front is pretty interesting. usually they try to bury singers like that a little

or maybe just James Murphy, lol.

See: "Peel St"

what's the deal with the cover art and inserts? are they AI generated?
