Following their recent single "Fugue (Bin Song)" from earlier in the year, the post-punk group Squid have shared that their third album will be out in February and dropped the new track "Crispy Skin" along with the announcement. The sprawling tune clocks in at nearly six and a half minutes and weaves together some tight grooves with steadfast rhythms and a gripping bass line. Twinkling piano kicks off the jam before jabbing synths morph into a solid melody and vocals like a concerned Fred Schneider of the B-52's courtesy of lead singer and drummer Ollie Judge. The track is a meandering journey over turbulent rhythms that can shift on a dime with each new surprise offering something exciting and fresh. It's a labyrinthian number that consistently reinvents itself while still retaining focus.
Coward is out February 7.
