Lord Huron

Lord HuronPosted on

Lord Huron is the L.A. based recording nom de tune of Benji Schneider.   More aligned with the pastoral folk of Heron and Pentangle than the canyon fuzz of Laurel, Huron's three track EP is a very welcome addition to soundtrack the balmy Angeles nights ahead. Look for live dates soon.

Hackamore Brick :: One Kiss Leads To Another

Hackamore BrickPosted on

The tree that was the Velvet Underground has borne all manner of strange fruit since its inception and Hackamore Brick's One Kiss Leads To Another, from 1971, may very well have been the first of its direct descendants. Brooklyn based, the band predates both Modern Lovers and Television's VU fascinations with vocal turns clearly indebted to Lou Reed. But, like the aforementioned Lovers and Television, Hackamore Brick were not merely aping the Velvet's but citing their influence with the same reverence . . .

Pearly Gate Music :: Daddy Wrote You Letters

Pearly Gate MusicPosted on

An asthmatic, wheezing, pump organ...drums, harmonica, a guitar and Zach Tillman's vocal storytelling. This is the sound of Seattle's Pearly Gate Music.

Television :: Adventure

I was never quite sure what to make of people's outright indifference towards, or ignorance of, Television's sophomore album Adventure. Here you have a legendary band's follow-up to an unquestionable masterpiece debut (Marquee Moon), and the most common reaction I . . .

はっぴいえんど 風街ろまん (Happy End “Kazemachi Roman”)

Kazemachi RomanPosted on

From 1971 Japan comes this gleaming gem of classic rock, encompassing a myriad of American styles from rural rock and country to raw garage, blues, experimental, and blazing west coast rock - but contrary to prevailing trends of the time, the lyrics are not sung in English. If this poses a problem for your ears it is a great shame, for Kazemachi Roman (Wind City Romance) is a must-listen record, and #1 on Rolling Stone's list of the become a member or log in.

Diversions :: The Jim Jones Revue on Hitting The Source

Diversions The Jim Jones RevuePosted on

(Diversions, a recurring feature on Aquarium Drunkard, catches up with our favorite artists as they wax on subjects other than recording and performing.)

Musically, Brits absorbing American influences and selling it right back to us is nothing new. See: the Rolling Stones, the Animals, Peter Green, Billy Childish etc.     Most Americans are either a) too close to the very art that sprang up in their backyards to notice, or b) just don't care. Collectively we, as Americans, remain willfully oblivious. But . . .

Cotton Jones :: Glorylight And Christie

Cotton JonesPosted on

"Glorylight And Christie" is the first single off Cotton Jones upcoming LP, Tall Hours In The Glowstream. While always a commendable tunesmith, under the Cotton Jones moniker Michael Nau has truly grown into his craft. Aesthetically, he's found himself. Nau's brand of dreamy Americana, while firmly rooted in the 21st century, is surrounding by ghosts, fever dreams...past lives. Look for it August 24th via Suicide Squeeze.
