»It’s very calm and soft,« guitarist and laptop musician Fennesz said in TinyMixTapes interview ahead of the publication of what would become the final »In the Fishtank« instalment and the last full-length record that came out before his collaborator, singer/songwriter Mark Linkous, ended his life. These seven pieces range from grainy ambient to tender drone pop with the occasional splash of abrasive noise. It is the most varied and perhaps most influential entry in the series—a bittersweet farewell note.
