Giant Squid announce new album "The Ichthyologist"

 

Hey everyone, it's been a long time since Giant Squid has delivered some news, but we've got a lot coming your way over the next month or two, so thanks for all the people who've been checking up on us to make sure we're still slithering about in some capacity or another.

For now, the most important news is that we've put down our deposit to secure highly sought after producer, Matt Bayles (ISIS, Mastodon, Botch, Pearl Jam, Minus the Bear) to engineer and produce our next record entitled, The Ichthyologist. We'll be heading to Los Angeles to record from August 10 – 16, and to mix from September 12-16. Matt Bayles is hands down one of our favorite producers of all time. We've worshiped albums like Oceanic, Leviathan, The Perfect is the Enemy of the Good, and We Are The Romans, having listened to them countless times. It's always been a huge aspiration of ours to work with him so to finally do so is very exciting on so many levels.

The Ichthyologist will be grand in scale, with ten full songs, and will the be the first recording of original material Giant Squid has done with full time cellist/vocalist, Jackie Perez Gratz (Grayceon, Amber Asylum), and will also feature new drummer, Chris Lyman, from San Francisco's rock heroes, Turn Me On Dead Man (Alternative Tentacles).

 

 

 

 

 

I don't know how popular they are here, but I loved "Metridium Fields" and I'm certainly looking forward to it. They said it'll be out in Jannuary, but I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

 

I think so too. They showed a lot of potential on Metridium Fields but there definitely was room for improvement.

I'm glad to see it's getting a positive reaction as well. I didn't know how many fans this band has but I think they're great.
