Squidney the Dude - Ben | Habits
Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 25, 2023
self-released
Squidney the Dude appears bundled up in a heavy fall jacket on the cover of Ben | Habits. You might feel like reaching for yours when listening to the two eponymous singles. Their lingering, low-hanging chords dangle timelessly. “Ben” thrums with plinking guitar and robust bass before a toasted guitar solo breaks up the sense of hibernation, as does the chirping of birds. “Picked up a couple of habits along the way / temporary as coffee stains,” Squidney mutters on the next track. Habits tend to stick, but the song feels as faint as a fingerprint on a window that’s fogging back up. Here's hoping Squidney the Dude makes a habit of releasing more songs soon.
Editor's note (2025): Squidney the Dude is the former monicker of Sidney Archer
