Andrew Carroll :: You Are Here

Andrew Carroll Radio Free Aquarium DrunkardPosted on

On his forthcoming EP You Are Here, Los Angeles-based Lodge 49 composer and songwriter Andrew Carroll offers up a cinematic set of psychedelic pop songs—think Pet Sounds re-envisioned as a soundtrack to a lost noir gem, its character lurking in shadows cast against golden California light. Tonight on Range and Basin, part of the monthly Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard broadcast on Dublab, he joined host Jason P. Woodbury to share an advance listen of his new songs, which are presented here for advance listening ahead of their release October 30th . . .

Oliver Coates :: skins n slime

Oliver CoatesPosted on

Oliver Coates' Skins n slime is not an easy listen by any means. The record resolutely chooses to veer off-track, taking a sharp turn from its predecessor Shelley’s on Zenn-La’s experimental dance influences, into barren and decaying sonic surroundings. Except, that is, when moments of pure, keening beauty snake their way through the minuscule cracks Coates has left open, like delicate plant tendrils in search of a ray of sunshine . . .

Sonhos Secretos: Brazilian Private Press & Independent MPB On 7″ (1980-1985)

MixtapesPosted on

Sonhos Secretos, or Secret Dreams in English, alludes to the quiet aspirations of those that made these independent and privately released recordings as well as to the fact that many of these tracks have long remained essentially a secret. It's also, to some extent, a reference to a certain dream-like quality that permeates this collection . . .

Thurston Moore :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview

Sonic Youth Thurston MoorePosted on

Thurston Moore scarcely needs an introduction, nor do we need a specific reason to want to chat with the 62-year-old artist. There is, though, a hook for this particular chat: the release of By The Fire, a new studio effort by the Thurston Moore Group. Recorded in London, the album is all radiant heat and kaleidoscopic arrangements which join together in oozing consort and tickling friction. Shooting through this mass of sound are lyrics, written by Moore or transgender poet Radieux Radio, that are rich with poetic detail and reveal a deep craving for experience and human connection . . .
