Lorquin’s Admiral

God knows… This is just a love song… A new band with a debut album on the horizon! It's coming! We’ve been privy to have heard about this creative outlet a little while ago and when one of the members gave us the news, we felt butterflies in our stomach. For Lorquin’s Admiral is none other than Dawn and Dandy Brown, Marlon King, Nick Hannon, Steve Earle, Dave Angstrom and Mark Engel. Some of which already played together on the amazing Orquesta Del Desierto records. Or Yawning Sons. Or Hermano. And if you don’t know them from there you will surely know them from The Afghan Whigs, Luna Sol, Sons Of Alpha Centauri or the Fizz Fuzz. Unbelievably exciting news! Counting down the moments… Off to mend my garden now… And then the butterflies will come...

Lorquin’s Admiral Signs with Argonauta Records for Highly Anticipated Debut Album

Argonauta Records proudly announces the signing of Lorquin’s Admiral, a groundbreaking heavy-psychedelic collaboration that promises to captivate audiences across the globe. Featuring a stellar lineup of current and former members of Afghan Whigs, the Fizz Fuzz, Hermano, Luna Sol, Orquesta del Desierto, Sons of Alpha Centauri, and Yawning Sons, the band delivers a unique blend of soul-stirring harmonies, mesmerizing riffs, and unforgettable hooks.

Building on the critically acclaimed writing partnership between Marlon King, Nick Hannon, and Dandy Brown (first established on the widely celebrated Yawning Sons album Sky Island), Lorquin's Admiral encapsulates the essence of psychedelic rock while pushing the genre into exciting new territories. The band’s debut album highlights the stunning vocal interplay of husband-and-wife duo Dawn and Dandy Brown, and the commanding rhythms of celebrated drummer Steve Earle, creating an immersive sonic experience that is both heavy and hypnotic.

Adding to the album’s allure, guitar virtuosos David Angstrom (Hermano, Luna Sol) and Country Mark Engel lend their distinctive touch, enriching the record with lush, textured guitar landscapes. Angstrom’s contributions span seven tracks, while Engel’s masterful work graces two.
Drawing inspiration from desert rock pioneers while seamlessly incorporating elements of blues, psychedelic, and alternative music, Lorquin’s Admiral appeals to fans of Kyuss, Fu Manchu and Fatso Jetson, as well as admirers of the Cranberries, Screaming Trees and Garbage. The band carves out a unique space in the heavy-psychedelic scene, proving that rock music remains a powerful and evolving force.

Lorquin’s Admiral Signing Statement:

“We are incredibly excited and honored to be a part of the Argonauta stable of bands. When we were looking for a place to call home for the Lorquin's Admiral album, our goals were simple: to find a team that had a track record of not only getting behind and developing their artists but also a label that believes strongly in expanding and promoting bands that push the envelope and explore multiple paths of expression. Gero and Argonauta have been doing just that for the past thirteen years, and it is thrilling to have our debut album released by a team that stays loyal to their roots while looking to the future with ears and eyes tuned to the unique and spirited. We can’t thank Argonauta enough for believing in what we’ve created, and we look forward to everyone having a chance to hear it.”
