Scenery and Fish by I Mother Earth
Scenery and Fish is an album by I Mother Earth, released in 1996. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 14 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “One More Astronaut”, on 6 lists with a best position of #29.
Scenery and Fish, I Mother Earth's second album, came out on Capitol and EMI in 1996 and turned into the Canadian band's biggest seller: double platinum at home, with 320,000 copies sold there by April 1999. Bruce Gordon made his studio debut on bass alongside Edwin, Christian Tanna and Jagori Tanna, and the band spent 1995 on it, writing from early in the year, recording in the fall and mixing in November and December.
The sound still rides on rolling, percussive grooves and psychedelic swirl, but now there's a post-grunge snap to it, with flashes of prog ambition and pop hooks poking through. "One More Astronaut" is the one that took off, and "Used To Be Alright", "Another Sunday" and "Raspberry" show the band stretching out in different directions.
