New Aqualung – Words and Music – Listen

UPDATE: Listen to a few of the tracks yourself.

Overall, the album is pretty chill. Way more chill than Memory Man. It’s good; but it’s not great. If you’re in the mood for some intricate chill music, this is the album for you.

The Paul Simon cover “Slip-Sliding Away” is amazing! As is Good Goodnight — it’s Aqualung at it’s best.

Rather than writing it all up, have a listen.

Original Post:

It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long since Aqualung’s latest album, “Memory Man” which you can hear a track from in my latest Aqualung post, or on the mixtape.

Aqualung’s new disc arrives on October 7, and is a compilation of new songs, old songs, and a Paul Simon cover. Music Remedy has a good summary for you to check out.

In the meantime, prepare thyselves for more piano, amazing mixes, and some crazy offbeats with “Cinderella” off “Memory Man”

Right on Nathan. I'm with you on Mr. Universe. Good track. Something about the rest of it is just a bit boring. I love the chill, but it's a bit blase in my opinion.

Josh, I actually discovered your blog searching for info on the new Aqualung album -- and have since bookmarked it! I agree with your assessment -- overall good but not great. It's definitely more mellow than Memory Man. I'm enjoying Mr. Universe -- a little more upbeat and funky than much of the rest of the album.
