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."

I've always wondered about the lyrical themes of this band,as i was reading the titles of their songs from the previous releases ( The Ichthyologist e.t.c.),i had the sense that they had a love about ancient Greece or later ages because i was reading Greek words.Now they said on their own.That goes for all the Mediterranean area i suppose...
I liked The Ichthyologist record,so i'm very curious about that...
