Lorquin's Admiral - Aren't We
Had the pleasure of talking to Dawn and Dandy Brown recently about the new Lorquin’s Admiral project. And soon I will be sharing many of those words with you all. But the band is already sharing the second single and video right now. It's called Aren't We, and it's one of the many highlights on the album. Check it out and check back soon for more on Lorquin’s Admiral!
PR Wire:
Heavy psych explorers Lorquin’s Admiral unveil their latest official video for ‘Aren’t We’
"While all the songs on the Lorquin’s Admiral album reflect deeply emotional experiences, the inspiration behind the song Aren’t We comes from observing the absurdities humans use to define their lives. The song itself is a mirror to how music and art in general allow us a glimpse into existential concepts and our attempts to immortalize and rein in the absurd. In the end, though, it’s really just a song, perhaps just a “love song”, among billions of other songs people use for comfort, belonging, or whatever else they need to gather in and hold onto the parade of moments that constitute our lives." - says Dandy Brown
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.
