about

Fishers is the solo-project of New York based writer and musician Dale Eisinger, one of the principals at GODMODE and drummer for YVETTE. His debut for the new name, 'Under the Sheepherder Bridge,' is a noisy, but still softer touch. Less harsh than his recordings as Horselover Fats or YVETTE, and more evocative thanks to its varied palette. Inspired by acousmatics and minimalism, Eisinger's work here is engrossing and tectonic, his vocals embedded in a particularly organic range of otherwise inhuman noise.

"...aligns with the experimental mindset at the core of YVETTE but has foregone the heaviness in favor of a more delicate approach to both acoustic and electric sounds that retains intensity." -Impose Magazine

"...veers wildly between noisy collages and delicate anti-folk rhythms. Bustling and energetic one moment and stolid and immovable the next, this cassette finds the enigmatic musician caught within a handful of genres, pushing back against their encroaching influences for as long as he can hold out. But far from being swept away by this tide of sound and fury, Fishers becomes the vehicle through which he assimilates and reconfigures these dominant rhythms into something of his own making. Beautifully elegiac -- and often disquieting -- his music wraps itself around your bones and refuses to let go." -Nooga

"...there are harsh moments, which makes sense considering he’s one half of awesome NY noise duo YVETTE. Between those are stretches of damaged folk and exploratory texture. Dale talks in places and sings in others — as does Godmode friend Matty Fasano ('Bad Day Song', 'Death Valley'). The set feels both collaged and cohesive… very much a heady, front-to-back kind of listen." -Stadiums & Shrines

"Listeners are guaranteed not to be bored..." -Cassette Gods

"Mix of psychedelic ambiance and experimental folk..." -Tape School

"...heartfelt, outsider music, recorded in some basement with quite a bit of reverb." -Vital Weekly

"Dale Eisinger has an uncanny ability to find beauty in the disfigured. Operating the Godmode imprint and playing in YVETTE, the NY-based writer/musician mines the gutters and less-traveled terrain for his sonic portraits. On 'Under the Sheepherder Bridge,' Eisinger wanders through a stunning array of genres and ideas . . . At times resembling a more ambient Xiu Xiu, a less brutish Swans, and a more lucid anti-folk Henry Flynt. The cassette opens with “Bad Day Song,” a reserved drift of harmonium-bred melancholy that highlights the shape-shifting nature of the ensuing tape and positions Eisinger as an effortless composer of dramatic, overarching folk music, dethroning the likes of Phil Elverum & Co. The waltzing tones eventually dissolve into a metallic, industrial symphony like David Lynch composing a symphony of mechanical ephemera..." -Decoder
