American Aquarium is poised for another stellar album in 2026. The North Carolina based outfit has proven over the course of two decades that it doesn’t take a viral TikTok moment to be a mainstay in the music industry.

Grateful was released in 2026 and produced by Dave Cobb, while Boston, Mass. was The Del Fuegos’ second album, released in 1985 on Slash Records.
