No season inspires ritual listening quite like late summer. As the days flatten into heat haze and evenings linger just a little longer, familiar records reveal unexpected contours. As August stretche...

Sacred Harp hymn singing is otherworldly sounding. Uncanny, forceful, & overwhelming. Today on an all-new episode of @aquariumdrunkard.com Transmissions: I speak with Matt Hinton, co-director of an essential doc about it, Awake, My Soul. Listen: pod.link/transmissions @talkhouse.bsky.social

Great work again from @aquariumdrunkard.com aquariumdrunkard.com/2024/07/02/l...

The third installment of @aquariumdrunkard.com's Dog Days summer music collection is out. I wrote about two songs which evoke different kinds of summer experiences: “Hubris Part 3” by @orenambarchi.bsky.social and Tom Petty's “House in the Woods" aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/08/04/d...

Twenty years on, The Eraser has lost none of its curved-glass cut and glimmer. Thom Yorke was still riding high on a generational songwriting run and, with Nigel Godrich’s help, what obstacles remained between idea and execution had been removed. aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/08/03/t...

An album like a dark prophecy. 🖤❤️

Ornette Coleman Songbook AD Pocket Tee supply.aquariumdrunkard.com ..we made a bunch for the internal AD crew earlier this year. have some extras.

Spiral Galaxy extends far beyond music. To mark the release of II, the group look to visionary illustrators, forgotten kosmische explorers, album design, and psychedelic cinema, mapping a few of the inspirations behind their singular collaboration. aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/07/31/d...

As a long-term visitor to this planet I can confirm that there is a direct correlation between the presence of evil and the absence of love.

It's coverage like this where I know I will always support AD. Thanks for doing it like this.

Big Black :: Two Moonlins And Mother aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/07/30/b... Before Pharoah Sanders, before Blazing Saddles, before Muhammad Ali’s training camp, there was “Two Moonlins And Mother.” Big Black’s boogaloo gem distills a lifetime of rhythm into 3 minutes of humid, percussive heat.

A Black Ark masterpiece: Musical Bones pairs Vin Gordon with Lee "Scratch" Perry & The Upsetters. Released in 1975 as a UK white-label of only 300 copies, it quickly disappeared into reggae collector lore. aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/07/29/v...

The Visitors :: My Good Friends (1977) aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/07/28/t... Highlife, funk, soul, and psychedelia converge in eastern Nigeria.... this restless, idiosyncratic LP charts a compelling parallel current.

For @aquariumdrunkard.com's Box Set appreciation series, I wrote about Dylan's Biograph, mostly as an excuse to uplift Dylan's song-by-song commentary, which starts a line to the World Gone Wrong liner notes, Chronicles, and The Philosophy of Modern Song aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/07/28/t...
