I am over @aquariumdrunkard.com talking about Correggio, Mayakovsky, the Second Great Awakening and, of course, the indomitable Horse Lords.

Michael Brook :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/07/16/m... Ambient guitar pioneer Michael Brook joins us to discuss his 1992 classic Cobalt Blue, which has recently been re-issued by label 4AD with new art and a dynamic remastering job.

Horse Lords :: Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/07/16/h... The strangest and prettiest Horse Lords album yet. Protestant hymn-singing, swamp boogie, early computer music and robot funk all find a place in their endlessly inventive, phase-shifting world.

Last year on @aquariumdrunkard.com we put together a little Big Ego primer: aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/09/10/a...

Digging into this on morning walk and very pleasant on first listen. Will now commence sharing with everyone i know…

Good Trip Peru, Vol I – A Mixtape aquariumdrunkard.com/2017/06/01/a... Good Trip Peru, Vol. I: a mixtape tracing the roots of Música Peruana, from fuzzed-out Chicha and cumbia to Andean folk and tropical psychedelia.

Alden Hellmuth :: Tether aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/07/14/a... No aura. No vibe. No chill. Alden Hellmuth’s second album pairs a remorseless funk drummer with two bassists for burly, punk-informed jazz that never sacrifices melody. Call it Blitzkrieg Bebop.

You Make The Choice :: On 30 years of Dusk at Cubist Castle aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/07/13/y... 30 years on, Dusk at Cubist Castle still feels like a transmission from a vanished world. We asked friends from the AD orbit to reflect on the LP—and the regional music culture that made it possible.
