Squid: International Showcase Fund (SXSW)
Squid are thrilled to have announced their debut album, Bright Green Field, already one of 2021’s most highly anticipated albums. Bright Green Field, produced by Dan Carey, will be released 7th May via Warp Records.
Some bands might be tempted to include previous singles on their debut – and the band already released two more in 2020 via ‘Sludge’ and ‘Broadcaster’ – but instead the album is completely new. This sense of limitlessness and perpetual forward motion is one of the the key ingredients that makes Squid so loved by fans and critics alike, from BBC Radio 6 Music who have A-Listed previous singles, ‘Houseplants’, ‘The Cleaner’ and ‘Match Bet’ to publications such as, The Guardian, NME, The Face, The Quietus and countless others. The band was also on the long-list for the BBC Music Sound of 2020 poll.
The PRS foundation funding will provide the band with the opportunity to record a live streamed performance for SXSW 2021, which will in turn be the first opportunity for international fans, journalists and booker to see them play.
