If Darlingside’s first album, Birds Say (2015), focused on the past through nostalgia, and their second, Extralife (2018),
contemplated uncertain futures, Fish Pond Fish stands firmly in the present, looking at what’s here, now. Dave Senft
(bass), Don Mitchell (guitar, banjo), Auyon Mukharji (violin, mandolin), and Harris Paseltiner (cello, guitar) have
created a natural history in song—taking us into gardens, almond groves, orchard rows, down to the ocean floor and under
stars.
The band has long been praised for their harmonies and intelligent songwriting, described by NPR as “exquisitely-arranged,
literary-minded, baroque folk-pop,” and their dynamic presence (crowded tightly together onstage) have made them a live-
performance favorite. But this album showcases their broader storytelling abilities: nature is a looking glass, the songs
suggest, with tracks like Ocean Bed, Green + Evergreen, Mountain + Sea, and Crystal Caving making metaphors of their
titles. An experience of nature is an experience of self; an experience of self is one of natural change cut and
complemented by stasis.
