I was sat in a waiting room with this gay, American couple and their two kids, explaining that England doesn’t have tourist attractions like America does and that they should take their kids to the aquarium.

American Aquarium - Chicamacomico
(Alt-Country, Singer/Songwriter, Americana)
The long-running Americana outfit takes a muted approach to their rootsy brand of Southern rock, painting intimate and relaxed scenes of parenthood, domestic life, and grief. Chicamacomico is the most relaxed American Aquarium has ever sounded, but by aiming for something more eminently relatable, BJ Barnham's songwriting and the band behind him latch onto your heart more than ever.
☆☆☆½
American Aquarium has always been a down to earth band, but Chicamacomico has you witnessing them interacting with the same kind of tedium and grief rarely brought up in country music at large. They know that the stability in their lives is not something that comes without work and a constant outpouring of love and dedication, and you can only put that much heart into so many places before you have to wind down and take care of yourself. Chicamacomico is that moment of care and reflection. BJ Barnham tells stories of loss, sobriety and family without resolutions or revelations, letting himself sit with these emotions and release them through the music without trying to force a narrative of any kind on top of it. It's their most difficult to listen to album emotionally, yet American Aquaium's healing folk tunes and sunny Americana rock jams keep the album from feeling like a pity party, Chicamacomico embracing the cloudy skies and standing under them until they pass. This is the folkiest American Aquarium have ever sounded, but don't confuse that for them flattening out their sound at all. Chicamacomico sounds just as great as any of their previous releases, lightening up on the instrumentation but preserving the band's sense of rustic textures and spaciousness that calls to mind the introspection and quiet of the Appalachian Mountains or a breezy winter ocean. Album single Wildfire hinted at this more subdued sound with its fluffy electronic drum pad and stripped-down acoustic strumming that put the spotlight fully on Barnham's voice, the occasional touch of pedal steel and organs keeping their country spirit alive, but Chicamacomico's deeper cuts are where it really begins to shine, the troubled domesticity of Just Close Enough contrasting simple images of shelved moving boxes and mind-numbing overtime with a story of how love and commitment is so often tested by the turmoil of life to the point where it can seem like that connection you once had with someone barely exists at all anymore. The First Year's tender fingerpicked guitar and delicate piano help Barnham to detail the deep feelings of loss he began to feel after the passing of his mother, holidays and family events rendered teary-eyed as the reality of death finally hit him. Now, none of these stories feel particularly high-brow, but that's not American Aquarium's goal here. These songs are an account of someone coming to terms with the world around them outside of musical stardom, knowing that making art is always going to be a part of his life, but investing more in his personal life and relationships than ever. "I used to be a singer with a family back home / But now I’m just a father and a husband who knows his way around a microphone," he sings on the twangy Little Things, and you can feel how important it all is to him. Chicamacomico can often lack the bite vocally and instrumentally that helped make the best American Aquarium albums so gripping (I'm not sure any album of theirs will ever be as catchy as Lamentations), but the more intimate view you get of the band here helps deliver songs that wouldn't fit on any of their past album. The Things We Lost Along the Way is such a naked and pensive folk song that it's hard to imagine something as bittersweet as this on any past American Aquarium record without it sticking out with a sore thumb, but placed between the laid-back Wildfire and similarly relaxed folk rocker Waking Up the Echoes it makes a perfect moment of emotional release on the album. It does lend a stiffness to the more rock-inspired tracks on offer: Little Things feels a bit too bog-standard with its twangy guitars and blues pianos, and Built to Last is similarly too back-and-forth without having the intensity and grit to make its verse-chorus-verse structure feel rewarding. Chicamacomico is at its best when American Aquarium fully commits to its style of warm, acoustic Americana, where the atmosphere and Barnham's emotions are at the forefront, but it too often drifts from that place for the album to feel like a fully consistent experience. Though short, Chicamacomico is one of the most intriguing albums American Aquarium has put out, a uniquely mellow and tender affair that takes the band to a place closer to their hearts than usual. These songs are soft and much less in-your-face than any of the band's previous projects, asking you to lean in a little closer to American Aquarium and bring yourself into their lives more than ever. It's a simple ask, but it does wonders in making their music more charismatic and personable as you hear them toil with parenthood, making ends meet - all the little things that keep a house in order. Chicamacomico knows that its goal isn't to be anything but approachable and inviting, a respite from daily life that speaks on just how stressful and draining that daily life can be. If you've got any kind of experience with the things American Aquarium sings of, Chicamacomico will hit your heart like few other albums this year. Life can be boring, but it's watching your kids grow up and learning to be more at peace with the world that makes it all worth it.

Petco was out of frozen spirulina and brine shrimp cubes, so I bought frozen spirulina and mysis shrimp cubes instead. This one let me know through hesitation and then violent spitting that it was not an acceptable alternative. 😂
Meanwhile the dogs are staring at me in an accusatory manner and wondering why they never get frozen food when they would actually appreciate it.

Today is Wet Beast Wednesday!
Today's wet beast is: Pocket Shark
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Olive's Wet Beast Fact: this little creature actually isn't called "pocket" because of its extremely small size. It's called that because it has a pocket gland behind its gills that releases a magical glowy fluid. You wish your fluids were that cool looking.
Stay tuned for more Wet Beast Wednesdays!
