Ever Further

Ever Further is a song performed by Grizzco Industries.

Description
Ever Further has a very unorthodox production and is very similar to its fellow Grizzco song Happy Little Workers. It features a lot of abstract sound effects and various different Inkling vocals, all combined with various pipes and drum beats. It starts off with Mr Grizz's laughter, followed by a short drum intro, then a section with repeated singing punctuated by cheers in the background. Then a pipe solo begins, accentuated by various sound effects, then Mr Grizz's laughter is heard once more. Ever Further plays once a Salmon Run match ends, regardless of whether the player's team wins or not. It can also be heard in Squid Beatz 2, with a maximum score of 45 and 108 in Normal and Hard modes, respectively.

Not Bad (Do Better)
In Splatoon 3, a remix of Ever Further is used in place of the original. While the instrumentation and melody are the same, the vocals are slightly different in the intro. After the intro they follow a completely new melody, accompanied by backing vocals also heard in Happy Little Workers as well as sitar strings. The vocals are then harmonized. The pipe instrument solo from the Splatoon 2 version of the song is absent, though each instance of Mr Grizz's laughter remains.

Trivia

 * Ever Further is the first "match complete" song in the series that serves as both the victory and failure theme.

Etymology
Ever Further refers to carrying on no matter what the result, possibly due to its use during both successful and unsuccessful Salmon Run shifts.

Not Bad (Do Better) comes from the fact that it could be used to describe the workers' performance regardless of the result.
