Squid take us Paddling on their new single

Lifted from the band’s forthcoming debut album Bright Green Field.

Squid have released a new single. The new track, titled Paddling, is taken from the Brighton-based band’s forthcoming debut LP Bright Green Field. The album is scheduled for release on 7 May via Warp Records.

“Written from two different perspectives, Paddling is a song about the dichotomy between simple pleasures and decadent consumerism,” Squid explain in a statement. “Recounting a familiar scene from The Wind in the Willows, the song reminds us that although we are humans, we are ultimately animals that are driven by both modern and primal instincts, leading to vanity and machismo around us in the everyday.”
