For nearly two decades, American Aquarium have pushed toward that rare form
of rock-and-roll that’s revelatory in every sense. “For us the sweet spot is when
you’ve got a rock band that makes you scream along to every word, and it’s not
until you’re coming down at three a.m. that you realize those words are saying
something real about your life,” says frontman BJ Barham. “That’s what made us
fall in love with music in the first place, and that’s the goal in everything we do.”
On their new album The Fear of Standing Still, the North Carolina-bred band
embody that dynamic with more intensity than ever before, endlessly matching
their gritty breed of country-rock with Barham’s bravest and most incisive
songwriting to date. As he reflects on matters both personal and sociocultural—
e.g., the complexity of Southern identity, the intersection of generational trauma
and the dismantling of reproductive rights—American Aquarium instill every
moment of The Fear of Standing Still with equal parts unbridled spirit and
illuminating empathy.
