Giant Squid Releasing New Album "Minoans"

San Francisco progressive doom-rock scientists Giant Squid will release fifth LP "Minoans" on October 28th via Translation Loss Records.

The record was recorded and mixed with engineer Tim Green (Earthless, Melvins) at Louder Studios in Grass Valley, CA and lyrically excavates one of the earliest civilizations known to history; examining how the aquatic demise of the ancient proto-Greek people may foretell our own end.

"Minoans" is the follow-up to Giant Squid's 2011 release "Cenotes' and features conceptual artwork created by guitarist / vocalist Aaron John Gregory.

"'Minoans' is the record I've always known Giant Squid could make; ancient, exotic and other-worldly, while showing a new level of refined focus," comments Gregory. "Lyrically, the album is a giant love letter to the Mediterranean and specifically Bronze-age Greece - a region, people, and time period that deeply fascinates me - and which I feel mirrors these heartbreakingly brutal, turbulent times we live in today."
