Our Take

After eagerly diving into SQUID's latest offering, "Oceana," it's clear that the band has once again delivered a mind-bending sonic experience that defies categorization. The album kicks off with the pulsating track "G.S.K," a frenetic blend of post-punk and experimental jazz that sets the tone for what's to come.

Throughout the album, SQUID effortlessly weaves together disparate influences, from krautrock to disco to prog rock, creating a sound that is at once familiar and utterly unique. Tracks like "Narrator" and "Pamphlets" showcase the band's knack for crafting intricate, ever-evolving compositions that keep the listener on their toes.

But it's the epic title track, "Oceana," that truly steals the show. Clocking in at over 20 minutes, this sprawling opus takes the listener on a journey through swirling synths, propulsive rhythms, and haunting vocals, building to a cathartic climax that will leave you breathless.

In a music landscape that often feels saturated with cookie-cutter pop and formulaic rock, SQUID stands out as a bold and fearless voice, unafraid to push the boundaries of what is possible in music. "Oceana" is a testament to the band's unwavering creativity and vision, and a must-listen for anyone seeking a truly immersive musical experience.
