BRIGHT GREEN FIELD

Squid in my eyes has a lot of potential and i believe this debut album will be a future prog classic. I personally believe this band is mislabeled and should be under Eclectic Prog, the album has a variety of influences but is mainly a Post Punk, Prog Electronic, Krautrock and Dance Punk album making it super unique, it has elements of XTC, Talking Heads B52's especially in the vocals and even a little bit of Radiohead and 80s King Crimson in the instrumentation aswell as some Manic Street Preachers, the album of course wearing it's influences on it's sleeves there's plenty of moments that remind me of Can and Proto Punk/Krautrock(even tiny bits of jazz rock) in general, it takes these influences and puts it in a prog contex, Narrator being a highlight I don't know how to disribe it, the track starts off normally but over time it gets more and more chaotic to where the song turns into chaotic screaming even becoming semi avant garde and is honestly one of the most intense prog songs to come out in a long time, Peel St. is another personal favorite of mine the track opens with electronica and then gradually turns into a rock song with the electronic synths supporting it, the final track Pamphlets is an amazing ending with it being very loud and frantic and it coming to a sudden end. Overall the album is a love letter to the genres and music it's inspired by and is one hell of a ride and I'd say this album/band is leagues better Black Country, New Road another band from the Windmill Scene
