With an edge of heavy psychedelic while celebrating those desert rock pioneers, Lorquin’s Admiral have signed to Argonauta Records, releasing a video for their debut single, Inexplicable Things. The band, built around the stunning vocal interplay of husband-and-wife duo Dawn and Dandy Brown, have also promised elements of blues with an alternative edge to their sound.
“We are incredibly excited and honoured to be a part of the Argonauta stable of bands,” Lorquin’s Admiral said. “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.”
Along with Dawn and Dandy, Lorquin’s Admiral features the commanding rhythms of celebrated drummer Steve Earle, promising 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.
“Making the Lorquin’s Admiral album was a uniquely beautiful production,” Dandy Brown told us, “as we all live on opposite sides of the world and only had a few precious days together in Kent to record.
“Lyrically, Inexplicable Things touches themes of inception, the present, and the infinite, but it also seems to fit that situation we found ourselves in while recording the album.
“For what was relatively a very short period of time, we were able to come together and harness this burst of creativity and expression and came away with something that holds a very special place in our hearts.”
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.
