Squid, released their debut album, Bright Green Field, earlier this month via Warp Records. Today, they have shared another video for the album’s single, “Pamphlets,” a searing look at right wing propaganda. Directed by Raman Djafari with character animation by Barney Abrahams, the “Pamphlets” video is an eight-minute odyssey of hyperreal animation. Djafari says it’s “a meditation on the feeling of being unfit, unlovable, not compatible and the manic anxiety and stress that this results in. I wanted to explore a state of mind that I have found myself in many times, of fearing to go outside and being confronted with everything that one cannot love about themselves. The second half emerges from that state of mind through the embrace of difference.” Squid, kicK off their tour on September 7, in Brighton, UK.

Squid includes Louis Borlase (guitars, vocals), Ollie Judge (drums, lead vocals), Arthur Leadbetter (keyboards, strings, percussion), Laurie Nankivell (bass, brass) and Anton Pearson (guitars, vocals).
