Catalog Number: FISH14LP Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 5425001461318 2024 rerelease. 'In The Fishtank' is an ever ongoing project of Konkurrent, an independent music distributor in the Netherlands. For this series of releases Konkurrent invites musicians that they feel strongly related to into the studio to record. They are given two days studio time and freedom to do whatever they like musically. The Fishtank offers a space for expression and experimentation - results may vary but are always surprising. This Fishtank session of Isis and Aereogramme together has a wonderful sound. Where both bands are known for their love of metal and post-hardcore, they also experiment and they not only show those skills here, but they reach an impressively high level of purity, roominess and emotion. Putting two bands together in a small town near Amsterdam was a challenge, and finally in July 2005 Aereogramme shared the studio with Isis to record a Fishtank The bands played a warming-up show at the Amsterdam Paradiso the night before they entered the studio, and Konkurrent expected a heavy and loud session not yet heard before in the series, but it's the analog warmth that makes the songs tender, organic, imminent and fragile. It's the unexpected that makes this a very successful Fishtank edition.
