EP 223 Dandy & Dawn of Lorquin’s Admiral: Analog Artistry Collaborative Trust and Admiral’s Creation

In this soulful and artistic episode of And Now The Band, host Tom welcomes Dandy and Dawn Brown of the psychedelic desert rock duo Lorquin’s Admiral to dive deep into the creative heart of their upcoming self-titled album Admiral, dropping June 27th. From analog photography and butterfly symbolism to underground music scenes and meaningful collaboration, this episode is a celebration of authenticity, trust, and timeless sonic beauty.

🎶 With roots tracing back to a 2017 collab featuring Sons of Alpha Centauri and Yawning Man, Admiral evolved into a full-length project with help from Dave Angstrom of Hermano, whose soulful guitar work and long-time friendship shaped the album’s atmosphere. Host Tom praises Dawn's ethereal vocals, the garnet-colored vinyl variant, and the band’s passion for physical art in an increasingly digital world.
