American Aquarium

American Aquarium began liberating albums in 2006, drawing influence from bands like Whiskeytown as well as the Drive-By Truckers along the way. Created in Raleigh, NEW YORK — the unofficial head office of alt-country — the music group centered on the songwriting of B.J. Barham, who fleshed out his lineup with pianist Zack Dark brown, bassist Expenses Corbin, guitarist Ryan Johnson, drummer Kevin McClain, and pedal metal participant Whit Wright. Despite a dynamic touring routine, the group also went to the recording studio room frequently, and released a set of self-employed albums before partnering with Last Opportunity Information for 2009’s Dances for the Lonesome. Fellow North Carolinian (and previous dB’s frontman) Chris Stamey created the record, which also presented visitor vocals from Whiskeytown alumna Caitlin Cary. Arriving a 12 months later, their 4th record, Small City Hymns, further founded their penchant for gritty, Springsteen-ian anthems. 2012 became a banner 12 months for American Aquarium using the launch of both their 1st concert album Reside in Raleigh and their 5th (& most critically acclaimed) studio room recording, the Jason Isbell-produced Burn off.Flicker.Pass away. Originally designed to become the group’s swan track, the album rather ushered in an exceedingly effective period. Reinvigorated, they collaborated with maker Brad Make (Megafaun) on the even more alt-rock-inspired 2015 follow-up Wolves. A concert recording, Live at Terminal Western, appeared by the end of the entire year, documenting a present in Atlanta. In regards to a calendar year afterwards, Barham released a stark, reflective single album entitled Rockingham, earning reviews that are positive for this. The band continuing to try out out, and informed fans they’d end up being documenting during 2017, but early in the entire year, Barham announced that the lineup acquired dissolved, which after a single tour, he’d begin recording periods using a different lineup of American Aquarium.
