Scenery and Fish is the second album by the Canadian rock band I Mother Earth, released by Capitol and EMI in 1996. It is the band's most commercially successful album, going double platinum in Canada and selling 320,000 units in Canada by April 1999. [2]
The album is the band's first studio record to feature bassist Bruce Gordon. Writing for the album began around January 1995, pre-production and recording took place in the fall, and mixing was done from November-December 1995. The album was somewhat of a continuance of the band's percussive, psychedelic sound, albeit this time with more of a post-grunge twist tinged with elements of both progressive rock and pop.
Scenery and Fish won the 1996 CASBY Award for "Favourite New Release". [3] The album was nominated for "Rock Album of the Year" at the 1997 Juno Awards. [4]
(All songs written by "I Mother Earth", later revealed to be Jagori and Christian Tanna) [5]
