Squid announce new album 'Cowards'

Following on from their highly-praised 'O Monolith' LP last year, Squid have now announced their plans for a new studio album, arriving early next year.

The new full-length 'Cowards' is being previewed by the lead single 'Crispy Skin', which comes accompanied by a stunning Takashi Ito-directed video, and is set to be released on the 7th February via Warp.

Speaking about the new offering, the band's Ollie Judge said, “Crispy Skin was lyrically inspired by a dystopian novel I read where cannibalism becomes the societal norm and humans are manufactured and sold in supermarkets. I think when most people read books like these they picture themselves as the sort of person that would take the moral high-ground within these narratives. The track was written about how the reality of having a moral-compass in these stories of desperation and horror would be extremely difficult.”

Watch the new video for 'Crispy Skin' in the player and see the album's full tracklisting below.

'Cowards' Tracklist:
1.Crispy Skin
2.Building 650
3.Blood on the Boulders
4.Fieldworks I
