Teeming with melodic epiphanies and layered sounds, Squid’s second album O Monolith is a musical evocation of environment, domesticity and self-made folklore. Like its predecessor, 2021’s critically acclaimed, UK number 4 album Bright Green Field, it is dense and tricksy – but also more warm and characterful, with a meandering, questioning nature.

Expansive, evocative and hugely varied, O Monolith retains Squid’s&nbsp;restless, enigmatic spirit, but it still holds surprises for those familiar&nbsp;with Bright Green Field. It’s a reflection of the outsized progression&nbsp;of a band always looking to the future. Like its namesake, O&nbsp;Monolith is vast and strange; alive with endless possible&nbsp;interpretations of its inner mysteries.
