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 . . .

The Lagniappe Sessions :: Chico Bernardes

Chico Bernardes Lagniappe SessionsPosted on

São Paulo singer-songwriter Chico Bernardes is the latest to join this loose cadre, whose debut lp remains ripe and in steady rotation. For his Lagniappe Session the 20-year-old multi-instrumentalist reflects on early inspiration (Grizzly Bear), and local sonic compatriots (Sophia Chablau and Téo Serson . . .

Karl Blau :: Live From the Void

Karl BlauPosted on

Running just over 26-minutes in length, Karl Blau's Live From the Void arrives exactly as advertised: a live show presented within complete isolation, "performed for an audience of zero, in an abandoned amphitheater somewhere on the East Coast.” It's a naturalistic offering: chirping birds, rustling leaves, and flowing waters provide the record’s only sounds other than those imparted by Blau himself . . .

Nick Mitchell Maiato :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview

Nick Mitchell Maiato One Eleven HeavyPosted on

Some of the songs of Nick Mitchell Maiato's Pino Carrasco were bound for One Eleven Heavy's third album. But when the pandemic wrecked plans, he pivoted, shaping the album on his own while in quarantine in Spain. The result is an idiosyncratic and jammy gem. He joined us to speak about its weird genesis . . .

Transmissions :: Sam Prekop

Podcast Sam Prekop The Sea and CakePosted on

Incoming transmission from...Sam Prekop. For more than 25 years, he's released music with the Sea and Cake and on his own. His last few solo albums have found him focusing less on pop song craft and more on analog synthesizers and ambient textures. His latest for Thrill Jockey records is called Comma and on it he blends serene soundscapes with twitching electronic rhythms. Transmissions host Jason P. Woodbury reached him in Chicago to talk about hunkering down, synths, and how he and his Sea and Cake bandmates continue their remarkable work together . . .

Tobin Sprout :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview

The AD Interview Tobin SproutPosted on

Tobin Sprout was the other songwriter in early-1990s Guided by Voices.

But, in addition to his historic stint with one of lo-fi’s most exuberant bands, Sprout has done a lot of other stuff. He’s a well-regarded photo realist painter, an author and illustrator of several books and, every few years, a solo artist. In 2020, he released his eighth solo album, Empty Horses, a gorgeous but somewhat unexpected detour into Americana sounds and Civil War imagery. We talked about his new focus on country sounds, his art and his books and the band that started . . .
