28 April 2021, 10:44 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Squid have delivered new single "Pamphlets" as a final taster of their highly-anticipated debut album Bright Green Field, which lands next week.

"Pamphlets" is the third track to be lifted from Bright Green Field, following earlier outings "Paddling" and Martha Skye Murphy collaboration "Narrator".

Singer Ollie Judge says of the new song, "It’s about all the rubbish right-wing propaganda you get through your front door. It imagines a person with that as their only source of news being taken over by these pamphlets."

The band's debut album, produced by Dan Carey, will include field recordings of ringing church bells, bees, microphones swinging from the ceiling in a room of guitar amps, a distorted choir of 30 voices, and a horn and string ensemble featuring Emma-Jean Thackray and Lewis Evans from Black Country, New Road.

As well as preparing their debut album, Squid recently recorded two new songs live to vinyl from London's Metropolis Studios, which will be released as part of Record Store Day 2021 on 17 July.

"Pamphlets" is out now. Squid's Bright Green Field debut album will be released via Warp Records on 7 May, and is available to pre-order now.
