After seeing YVETTE live in concert, the last thing I’d
expect from their drummer Dale Eisinger is what I heard on “Under The
Sheepherder Bridge”. When I learned that the weird, acoustic music on the
cassette was made by the same guy I saw bashing the drum set last September I
was surprised. Eisinger’s work under the
moniker Fishers is a departure from the gritty industrial/noise rock he plays
with YVETTE and ventures into lighter variations of those genres, then combines
them with elements of acoustic and folk. The original songs, with titles
including “Email From Mom” and “Jim Morrison Was A Cactus Full of Bees”,
showcase Eisinger’s sonic creativity. He dabbles in a lot of sounds and
organizes his compositions in a way that makes it work. The tape also includes
covers of songs by The Appleseed Cast and Kurt Vile; although Eisinger
certainly puts his own twist on both tracks to make them fit. Listeners are
guaranteed not to be bored for the duration of the tape.
