01. Minoans
02. Thera
03. Sir Arthur Evans
04. Palace Of Knossos
05. Sixty Foot Waves
06. Mycenaeans
07. The Pearl And The Parthenon
08. Phaistos Disc
Recorded and mixed with engineer Tim Green (Earthless, Melvins) at Louder Studios in Grass Valley, CA, "the record sees the avant-garde band at their most refined, focused and vital as it fully embraces its Mediterranean leanings 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."
Aaron Gregory comments: "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. 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."
