Dan [Carey] and I had been speaking about vocal supply and the way it might be good to not utterly let myself go, and never fall again on shouting as a result of it\u2019s extra immediately gratifying. The finish of the track is admittedly mushy and tender and I don\u2019t suppose we\u2019ve executed one thing like that earlier than.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the surface it\u2019s a song about police brutality with the last section kind of inspired by The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe, although I\u2019ve never read the book, I\u2019ve just seen The Simpsons\u2019 spoof of it. Narratively it follows a police helicopter pilot\u2019s day, ending with him in bed hearing another pilot circling the skies as if he were taunting him. There\u2019s a deeper meaning in there somewhere of my fear of ego, but I\u2019m still working out which bit of the song that\u2019s coming from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Check out the brand new video beneath.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"6n3d1Rm752o\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Squid - The Blades (Official Video)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6n3d1Rm752o?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>So far, the album has been previewed by singles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/squid-announce-new-album-o-monolith-single-swing-in-a-dream-3394799\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018Swing (In A Dream)\u2019<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/squid-share-new-single-undergrowth-and-announce-2024-north-american-tour-3432542\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018Undergrowth\u2019<\/a>, and Judge lately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/squid-new-album-o-monolith-interview-3400727\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">informed <em>NME<\/em> of what to anticipate<\/a> of the follow-up to 2021 debut <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/reviews\/album\/squid-bright-green-field-review-radar-2933954\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018Bright Green Field\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re leaning a lot more into experimental song structures,\u201d he continued. \u201cWhen I was having a really hard time writing lyrics and the album, I saw this tweet from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/missy-elliot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Missy Elliot<\/a>\u00a0saying \u2018Don\u2019t make a second album that sounds like your first \u2013 just go fucking nuts\u2019\u201d he stated. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely harder to play live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The band are set to go out on a UK and Ireland headline tour later this 12 months, with <a href=\"https:\/\/ticketmaster-uk.tm7559.net\/c\/2862475\/431519\/7559?sharedid=NME&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.co.uk%2Fsquid-tickets%2Fartist%2F5299505\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tickets obtainable right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Squid will play:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>OCTOBER 2023<\/strong><br \/><strong>13 \u2013 Bristol, SWX<\/strong><br \/><strong>14 \u2013 Bristol SWX<\/strong><br \/><strong>16 \u2013 Birmingham, Town Hall<\/strong><br \/><strong>17 \u2013 Leeds, O2 Academy<\/strong><br \/><strong>18 \u2013 Manchester, New Century<\/strong><br \/><strong>21 \u2013 Glasgow, Barrowland Ballroom<\/strong><br \/><strong>22 \u2013 Newcastle, Boiler Shop<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>NOVEMBER 2023<br \/>1 \u2013 London, Troxy<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('consent', 'revoke');\n  fbq('init', '2300206660218433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  fbq('init', '370979561341328');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Squid have shared a model new track and video \u2013 take a look at the Charlotte Ritchie-starring visible for \u2018The Blades\u2019 beneath.
