Last year, fish narc shared his latest album frog song, which was one of many amphibian-themed releases at the time. Today, the '90s-influenced GothBoiClique-member-turned-rocker is announcing his new LP.
Uncle — which some might call Unc for short — was produced by Asheville's prolific Alex Farrar, whose client roster has been getting better with each passing day. About the album, the man otherwise known as Ben Funkhouser says:
The title, saying "uncle," giving up — that's sort of a tongue in cheek thing I wanted to acknowledge. The record is about reflecting on the last ten years, coping with expectations, dealing with aging. You kind of blink and wake up, and you're in your mid 30s. I understand that young people have this imperative to express themselves and that plays into how a young person's music hits — I'm not in that lane anymore and I'm not trying to be. This is more just about me trying to give something my best shot.
The lead single, "Much Less Me," is as '90s as it gets. It comes with a music video shot on Super 8 by Jolie M-A. Watch below.
