SQUID

In the organizer's words:

Squid have come a long way. In 2016, they were still playing once a month as an instrumental jazz band in Brighton while living in cheap rented accommodation on the Sussex coast after graduating. The band began expressing influences ranging from outsider punk to Fourth World, and became known for their chaotic and increasingly incendiary live shows. They moved to London to make the most of their burgeoning reputation, and after producer Dan Carey heard them at South London talent incubator The Windmill, he invited them into his studio. They released a series of good singles on Speedy Wunderground and the "Town Centre" EP (2019).
An album deal with the visionary Warp label followed, and the hype around Squid continued to grow. Their debut album "Bright Green Field" (2021) was released at a time when the world was starting to open up again after the pandemic, and it landed in the top 5 of the British charts. In 2023, they released their second album "O Monolith", which took the band all over the world and allowed them to break new ground that seemed almost impossible five years earlier. Like the most daring second albums, "O Monolith" pointed the way beyond their groundbreaking sound and led the band towards an experimental career. Fans grew with them, spreading alternative versions of songs and demos in setlists and NTS sessions.
"Cowards" is Squid's most daring album to date: by expanding the scope and
by expanding the scope and going back to the basics, Squid have created something new and strangely supernatural.
Squid are Louis Borlase, Arthur Leadbetter, Laurie Nankivell, Anton Pearson and Ollie Judge.
