G.S.K. by Squid MP3 Info
Following “Resolution Square”, a song that seems to create a crescendo into focus, like someone waking up, “G.S.K” erupts to unveil this dystopian world the listener was brought into with a ultra-sensory cacophonous wall of horns and chromatic guitar movements on top of a droning minor bass lick. The visual of a pharmaceutical building (GlaxoSmithKline, G.S.K) as the center of the city populated by businessmen adds to this world ruled by medically prescribed opioid drugs and capitalistic struggles to find shelter and food. OJ: "I started writing the lyrics when I was on a Megabus from Bristol to London. I was reading Concrete Island by J. G. Ballard, and that is set underneath that same flyover that you go on from Bristol to London [the Chiswick Flyover]. I decided to explore the dystopic nature of Britain, I guess. It’s a real tone-setter, quite industrial and a bit unlike the sound world that we’ve explored before. Lots of clanging." —via Apple Music Download Squid - G.S.K.
