fishmonger

Fishmonger is the debut studio album by the American musician Underscores, self-released on March 25, 2021. Running out of ideas for production techniques, Underscores challenged herself to play the guitar on every song of the album as she had little experience with the instrument. She recorded Fishmonger in her parents' house during the COVID-19 pandemic. Critics identified Fishmonger as a hyperpop album that incorporates various genre influences into its soundscape. The album is characterized by glitchy production, distorted guitars, and pitched-up vocals, discussing celebrity culture in its lyrics. Underscores designed Fishmonger as being based around a coastal New Jersey town. The album was promoted by two singles—"Second Hand Embarrassment" and "Kinko's Field Trip 2006"—and the album's artwork was photographed in Longport, New Jersey. Fishmonger garnered positive reception from music publications; The Atlantic considered it one of the best albums of 2021, while The Line of Best Fit deemed it one of the best hyperpop albums of all time.
