Singer/songwriter Brendan Popplestone has written the twelve tracks of Cerebellum with the musicians of The Silver Fish in mind. Between them they have decades of performing experience across all genres of music. The music of instrumental tracks Les Balconies and Cutting Matisse draws on a sound world that is lithe and colourful while For Alice and Iris Lives add a personal resonance. Songs like Out of the City and Hourglass relate to the worlds of work and recreation and Walking Wounded and City of the Ghouls take on the realities of Brendan’s work as a musician within the Health Service with lyrics tinged with pathos and wry humour. Easygoing Cameron Street and Doctor Music provide a complete contrast to the kinetic energy of Sicko the Clown and Wind Your Neck In. Throughout, the collaborative energy of this band weaves in and out of the intricate harmonies and original melodies like fish in a wide river. The fish are Silver Fish, the songs are golden and the new album, Cerebellum is a well-rewarding listen.
