Psychedelic rock

Squid is a Psychedelic rock act. Their sound grew out of Shame, Bill Callahan, Neu!, This Heat and Black Country, New Road. Those roots explain a lot about how Squid arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Shame, Courting, Parquet Courts, Honeyglaze and Goat Girl, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Geese and Honeyglaze, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 20 connections around Squid, reaching back through Shame and forward to Geese.
