Translation Loss sign Giant Squid

Translation Loss have signed the aquatically monikered indie-prog quintet Giant Squid.



The label is set to rerelease the band’s previously self-released album The Ichthyologist, with new artwork from comic book artist Sam Keith. The record features production from Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Pearl Jam), and has since been tweaked for its rerelease.



The band is also planning for a split with fellow Bay Area progsters Grayceon, who they’ll be sharing the road with for part of their upcoming tour. Check the dates below:
