 In June 2014, Giant Squid went into Louder Studios in Grass Valley, CA with producer/engineer, [Tim Green] (Melvins, Karp, Fucking Champs) and tracked their fifth official studio album, entitled, "Minoans".This eight song LP is conceptually about the demise of the proto-European civilization of people known as Minoans who originated on the Greek island of Crete.Gregory has hinted that, while the album is predominantly historically accurate in its lyrical content, it too may be tied into his ongoing mythological story line of "The Ichthyologist".
