I think their keys player isn't spoken about enough, the variation of layers and textures he adds to each song are just phenomenal.

squid easily has some of the most inventive and tasteful use of synth in any modern rock/post punk band. all his choices in terms of sound design and playing are just great and suit their sound so well. plays a mean cowbell too

This is the first time I've come across Squid and I was glued to this. Just incredible focus and tonal range. So much to love about these lads. This new season of From the Basement is blowing my mind quite frankly !

So good, even better than the album. Britain is on fire right now. Squid, Black Country, Black MIDI, and Petrol Girls all dropping masterpieces lately.

The instrumental before Pamphlets appears now to be the song After the Flash on their new album

Well that was sensational. I only wish it'd been twice as long.

No idea that Ollie Judge was a singing drummer! Love this group even more now

Never a bad set at From The Basement. Squid delivers.

The gentle owl hoot when Ollie appears screaming into the mic at 0:11 is a fantastic moment

The sythns add a whole other level of intensity to their music. Love it

Thank you for this! I've been wanting more live footage of Squid. They are the show I most want to see and I hope they're back in the U.S. soon

Absolutely awesome.

What a delightful surprise. Thank you.

One of the best bands around. Their live performances are off the scale 👏 🦑

Absolutely lovely

You can’t overstate how good these guys are, when I saw their name come up on the basement I knew it was gonna be something else, you guys killed it as always 🙏

I have never heard this band before. I am transfixed! What explosive songs! Can’t wait to explore more, Thanks for the new tunes!

Discovered them through this video. I’m an instant fan, this is serious talent

So glad more people are getting acquainted with them, great band with a long way to go which makes them even more exciting. Plus these new live renditions just prove me point.

At the end of 2021 I got to see these guys at the Empty Bottle in Chicago. Quite possibly one of the the best gigs I have ever been to.I have been going to gigs for over 30 years.

This was awesome! What a great sound.

Came back to this since the new record dropped, love that the sweet opening riff on Pamphlets here became a full song in After the Flash. Such an incredible band

Absolutely phenomenal.

Really like that intro to pamphlets. Hope to see Squid experiment with different sounds in the future. They're a band that could just as easily put out an instrumental album. Talented lads

OMG what a performance! I had never heard of them before I saw this as a link from WeTransfer! Such great band and the fact they’re signed to Warp makes them even cooler! 🤩

Utterly compelling. A fantastic performance.

Best FTB since In rainbows. This is generational talent.

been waiting for this. great band man

I've come back to this set like 10 times in the past week. So guuuuud

And this is only their first album wtf ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

one of the bands that gives me hope in music !

Holy hell this was a mindblowing set and I'm drinking it like wine. Keep this shit up.

This is just god damn magnificent hah. I wanna see them live so bad

Been following them for so many fucking years. Couldnt be happier for them

I fell out of love with music quite a while ago. Squid are bringing me right back in. Pretty much every song is a belter. I can't understand why their KZread posts have so few views.
