FISH - A Feast Of Consequences (2013)
A Feast Of Consequences sees things seeming on a superficial level unusually stable. Fish's vocal cords are finally free of tumorous growths, he's settled into irregular record releases and is actually enjoying playing live again, and the supporting cast is basically a stable group who've all been here before. Stevie remains the bassist, of course, but also here's Robin Boult on guitar, Foss on keyboards, Gavin on drums, Liz Antwi returning on backup vocals, and Calum producing. Fish is going to be taking his sweet time to eventually release sixty-seven minute records at this point, and who are we to question? Track One: "Perfume River" "There were no sirens... I heard no alarms..." I feel like Fish openers in later years tend to be slow builders divided into two halves, with the main distinction being between those that eventually get somewhere and those that kind of meander (like "The Field").
