fish narc - Uncle (LP) (New (N))

Description

Emerging from the dark Olympic forests with a new album and a full bag of chanterelles, fish narc’s Ben Funkhouser has shifted the damp melancholy characteristic of his earlier work towards the sun. Uncle is at once a cry of resignation (“say uncle!”) and a declaration of seniority, a set of observations steeped in the blues of youth, delivered with Westerbergian inclination. Recorded and produced by Alex Farrar, the album’s 11 tracks bear the hallmarks of his style: textured rock ‘n’ roll somehow both raw and polished. Neither waxing pathetic nor sugarcoating, fish narc and the band are at peak form on Uncle, strumming out the complexities of aging with the conviction of a group that’s fully found its footing in well-crafted rock and
powerpop.

Uncle [KLP313], is a culmination of the punk rock musical work fish narc has done in his native Northwest environs. Says Funkhouser, “I feel like Uncle is the best record I’ve ever made. The songs grew without changing, the textures are spot on, and Alex [Farrar] and I saw eye to eye about almost everything. The album represents what I want for my band and songwriting and is the touchstone on which all my future work will be based.”

fish narc is a rocker and producer from the Pacific Northwest, recently relocated to Los Angeles. As a member of GothBoiClique, his innovative guitar playing became iconic of the group and helped shape the style of the movement that they pioneered. As a songwriter, fish narc leans more on influences from SST, K and the diy scene he grew up in. Catch him with a full band for the true intended experience. Previous records include WiLDFiRE in 2020, Camouflage in 2022, fruiting body [KLP295] in
2023 and frog song [KLP298] in 2025. This autumn fish narc will tour the United States
with his punk horde.
