Solex + M.A.E. – In The Fishtank 13

In the Fishtank 13 is a stand-out instalment in many ways: It was recorded by Dutch artists, barely relies on guitar, and approaches more conventional pop songwriting. Indie pop singer/songwriter Solex had a slew of albums for Matador under her belt, while the successor of the original Maarten Altena Ensemble worked at the intersection of contemporary composed music and jazz. Needless to say, these four tracks are unconventional and make this often overlooked entry one of the strangest and strongest in the series.
