Little Fish

Welcome to the superbowl

About Me

In the summer of 2005, Little Fish (full name Little Fish inside the Superbowl) started working on the recordings of three songs, written throughout the years. Goal was to come up with a shortplay EP, to be released independently on the Festering Chunks label. Playing all instruments himself, recordings went well, but when Little Fish and producer Marc B were in the process of mixing, the project was abandoned due to the busy schedules of the people involved. Another issue to not complete the project at the time was that new compositions had grown into a direction far from the original recorded songs, and Little Fish decided to record the new song material for the to be released EP instead. Writing, arranging, recording and producing the songs by himself, Little Fish nowadays records his little songs in his little home studio, sometimes with other fellow musicians, for all to hear.
