Squid guitarist Anton Pearson has released "Teeth to Cut the Grass", the latest single preview of their upcoming debut solo album, Driving Through Belgium.

"Teeth to Cut the Grass" follows previous single "Tintinnabulation I", released in April, as the second of six pieces that make up the album. The track is accompanied by a video directed by Nespy5euro, who has been credited for his work with Flea, Thom Yorke, and more.

Speaking about the single, Pearson says: “I tried to build some drones here that felt more abrasive and less comfortable in a kind of overwhelming way. For the end I ramped up all that noise and fed in more drones, abandoning any sense of tonality. I pushed a bunch of these through amps to give more growly harshness. It’s probably the most uncomfortable part of the record but I felt it was needed to ground the more tranquil moments.”

Discussing the video concept, Nespy5euro adds: "A swarm of ghostly sheep crosses a colorful world, moving quietly through the track as if they had always belonged there. Little by little, the distortion fades and the video ends in an empty green field, leaving the feeling that the sheep may never have existed at all, except somewhere inside a distant memory."

Driving Through Belgium is released on 3 July via World Of Echo
