This week on @aquariumdrunkard.com Transmissions, I talk about the role Black American music played in The Smiths' iconic sound, the politics of guitar, and why it's never *just* about the music with Johnny Marr. Listen: pod.link/transmissions @talkhouse.bsky.social

Future Sounds of Jazz Vol. 16 is both a forecast and a wormhole. Across two discs, Michael Reinboth and Michael Rütten move through jazz, dub, electronic music, improvisation, and psychedelia with the intuitive logic of a late-night DJ set. aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/09/29/f...

Orchestral power pop, Asher White goes maximalist. A heartbreak LP touching on dysphoria, precarious labor, Jerry Garcia, Citi Bikes, and Flatbush in the snow, it transforms falsettos, arpeggiating guitars, and toy piano into a luminous vision of love. aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/09/24/a...

Dungen's most pared-down, elegant record finds the veteran Swedish outfit operating on a psychedelic wavelength all their own. Built around Gustav Ejstes’ panoramic piano progressions, its ballad-centric songs drift with a weightless, springtime atmosphere. aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/09/24/d...

For @aquariumdrunkard.com I wrote about my all-time favorite album, Maddy Prior & June Tabor's 1976 Silly Sisters. For me, it finds the perfect middle ground between raw performance and technical skill that was maybe only achievable by this particular cast of characters in that 70s Brit folk scene.

At 50, Maddy Prior & June Tabor’s Silly Sisters remains a magical hinge album: two transcendent voices, ancient songs, and luminous harmonies. Recorded in 1976 but somehow outside of time, it’s a raw, sophisticated, mysterious gem hiding in plain sight. aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/09/21/m...

Wendy & Bonnie’s Genesis is stunning psychedelic slice of baroque pop meets Latin-influenced West Coast jazz. Recorded in 1969 on Cal Tjader & Gábor Szabó’s Skye label, the teenage sisters’ lone album is a sublime, quietly astonishing achievement. aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/09/15/w...
