PIGLET THE SQUARE

New single ‘the square’ is piglet’s strongest statement, tying in a profoundly personal experience with a ferocious anthem. His final offering from new EP for frank forever comes in at just over seven minutes, a summation of disillusionment with the world around him, the consequences of a broken system and the pressing desire to feel a sense of belonging somewhere. The instrumentation is largely a subtle backdrop that follows an organic emotional growth to emphasise piglet’s prose - the true focal point of the track which shows difficult reflections mixing with hard, collective pills to swallow. This is most poignant in the chilling crescendo. When piglet is loud, present, and unleashes his resentment without defeat: ‘We have signed petitions/We have marched and we have asked/Yet every day falls further/We draw closer to collapse/England has so cursed itself, it cannot see its past/But we have always been here/And we will not be the last’. A striking voice among the noise, ‘the square’ promises a unique ardour to be found in for frank forever. -Kayla Sandiford
