[15/15] with very little time, and there really isn’t any part of Girl with Fish that I don’t appreciate in some form. It’s a wonderful little album that I think is very much worth your time, check it out!!!

[14/15] pack in an experience akin to skipping along a collection of memories, both good and bad. Many of its songs are so short, usually right around the 2 minute mark on average, yet the songwriting within them still feels so full and impactful. feeble little horse does a LOT…

[13/15] songs on here but once again it doesn’t skip out on impact with its heavy guitar distortion and lyrics about floating and drowning on heavy water.

Overall, I honestly really loved Girl with Fish! It’s definitely on the shorter side but within that time it manages to…

[12/15] narrator, once only showing a passive interest in this person she knew, is now bottled up with insecurities and uncontainable feelings for them. And lastly, “Heavy Water” makes for a depressing yet wonderfully executed closer in my eyes. It’s one of the slower-paced…

[11/15] of these odd, scattered background vocals and unique dissonant harmonies that make up its surprisingly catchy hook. And this scattered, difficult to pin down nature that the song basks in pretty effectively matches the emotions going into the song as well, as the…

[10/15] combined with the loud shoegaze-heavy hook, create one of the most full-of-life and filled out songs of the whole album for me, a quality I think feeble little horse nails so well. “Pocket” takes things in a bit more of an experimental direction, as it’s laced with all…

[9/15] listen to in Autumn, right down to the familiar acoustic guitar layering. “Slide” is another favorite of mine, with some wonderful arrangement choices from the volume shifts, to the added sequenced synthesizer notes in the verses for a little textural variety. Both, when…

[8/15] for death to finally find heaven in the midst of all the narrator’s confusing feelings. “Paces” I think is another beautiful indie-rock track with a bunch of looping, glitched out vocal snippets that make up part of its main melody. It reminds me of the type of song I’d…

[7/15] interlude-like purpose within the tracklist, I still find myself entranced by its nostalgic riffs and particularly intimate whispered vocals. It feels like a soft hug in musical form, despite its lyrics pointing toward a possibly much darker meaning, that of wishing…

[6/15] are also quite intriguing to me as its allusions to sex are made with comparisons to baking or cooking, just one of a few examples of the lightly absurdist writing that went into this project. “Heaven” is where we get our first true breather, and despite its more…

[5/15] of the somewhat intimate, plucky guitar playing in the verses to the blossoming noise and distortion in its shoegaze-heavy hook. “Steamroller” takes things down a notch tempo wise but absolutely does not shy away from the massive tones of the last 2 tracks. Its lyrics…

[4/15] with, as introductions get a little strange with the narrator only seeing this person as a side piece or potential situationship. The following “Tin Man” has been a song that’s been stuck in my head ever since I first gave the album a shot over a week ago. I love all…

[3/15] sections inspired by genres like noise rock and especially shoegaze with all of their effect-soaked and gorgeous electric guitar tones. The opener “Freak” is this loud noise and indie rocker that sets up the rocky relationship theme that most of the album concerns itself…

[2/15] was enough to get me intrigued. The album sits at around just 26 minutes, but I can definitely tell you that it packs a LOT of creative, lush, and mesmerizing musical ideas in that short span of time. The band is classified as indie-rock but Girl with Fish includes…

[1/15] Girl with Fish is the sophomore album from Pittsburgh indie-rock outfit, feeble little horse! While their discography is quite a short one, only releasing a single EP and 2 studio albums within the early 2020’s, the splash that they managed to make with Girl with Fish…
