Squid have revealed their new EP Town Centre will be out on Speedy Wunderground digitally from September 6th and on vinyl from November 15th.
“The Cleaner is a lost acquaintance, one that we’ve spent the last year trying to get to know…tirelessly working and turning up whenever needed,” the band say of the EP’s preview, which has been recorded with the super talented Dan Carey. “We work for the money to spend our time doing other things. The Cleaner imagines the divided work and play structure and thinks about breaking from it.”
“I love Squid so much,” Carey adds. “To record with them is such a joy – the room is a sea of ideas and enthusiasm without any clashes of ego; every suggestion is given full attention. This , combined with their musicianship results in beautifully inventive music, underpinned by a hard steady groove and topped with lyrics that are important and surreal.”
“When I first saw Squid I was blown away. In the middle of being blown away , they played The Cleaner. In the middle of The Cleaner I was blown away by the middle bit of The Cleaner. So I was 3 levels down , and I thought ‘Yes…Squid’.”
