Lorquin's Admiral Releases Debut Single and Video "Inexplicable Things"
On January 6, 2025, Argonauta Records proudly announced the signing of Lorquin's Admiral, a supergroup composed of current and former members of Afghan Whigs, the Fizz Fuzz, Hermano, Luna Sol, Orquesta del Desierto, Sons of Alpha Centauri, and Yawning Sons (whew!).
Led by husband-and-wife duo Dandy and Dawn Brown (who also just finished recording a new Fizz Fuzz album!) along with Nick Hannon (Sons of Alpha Centauri), Marlon King (Sons of Alpha Centauri), and Steve Earle (former Afghan Whigs), the group seemingly popped up out of nowhere, announcing a debut album sometime in the not-too-distant future. Although many elements of the band remain interestingly shrouded in mystery, Lorquin's Admiral lifted the veil just a bit on February 11, 2025 in reveling their debut single and video, Inexplicable Things.
Inexplicable Things
Inexplicable Things has the most enjoyable foundation of stoner, desert, and heavy psych tones: it's laid back while being effortlessly propelled by the energy of the lead guitar. This bright and emotive solo guitar work is a constant throughout the song and is so involved, it acts almost as a backup vocal. This is layered atop driving stoner riffage and darker undertones, a nod to the cryptic nature of the song's subject matter. My favorite thing about Inexplicable Things, however, are the hypnotically feline vocals of Dawn Brown, which primarily stay in the range of a soothing alto purr but occasionally take on a sensual yowl in the choruses.
