On March 10th Elvis Perkins returns to the fold with his sophomore album, Elvis Perkins In Dearland, and this time there is little need to wax on his storied pedigree and biography. Like his debut, Ash Wednesday, Dearland sews a similar thread with the welcome addition of his eponymous band adding yet another dynamic [...]
Perhaps due to the past couple of weeks of near constant puddles in L.A., I’ve found myself listening to Orphans and Rain Dogs …a lot. Orphans, in particular, with its three thematic discs: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards, has me once again pondering the myriad of styles Tom Waits has experimented with over the [...]
Album artwork: Does it indeed affect our listening experience, and if so, how? Scratch the Surface is a recurring feature on Aquarium Drunkard that that takes a look at particularly interesting cover art choices.
By 1993 Fugazi was three EPs and two LPs into their career as a band. Usually this is a watershed moment [...]
Saturday, March 7th, Aquarium Drunkard presents Lambchop at the new Largo – at the Coronet – with special guests Radar Bros. This is a pretty incredible bill, and it’s not all too often that the collective actually makes it to the West coast; in fact one is more likely to see them perform in Europe. [...]

Classic film noir, on a base level, Chinatown tells the story of private detective J.J. ‘Jake’ Gittes as he attempts to solve what (at the [...]

Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s The Letting Go is broadly considered, even in rare negative critique, as Will Oldham’s most unexampled result. The album, [...]

Late last year when we wrote about Arthur Lee’s superb soul spin “Everybody’s Gotta Live,” we hadn’t yet heard Vindicator, the track’s 1972 mothership and Lee’s solo debut. Admittedly, we (I) naively assumed that Vindicator would be a record full of similar songs–an exploration of Lee’s R&B range that was largely neglected during his time [...]
