Fish And Scale – Tapestry

“Tapestry” is a recent tune released by Fish And Scale, earlier this year, and I cannot wait to share this one with you all.

Fish And Scale, otherwise known as Roland Wälzlein, is a strong and vulnerable artist, who touches on his own personal experiences to create music that is not only amazing, but relatable too.

“Tapestry” is a short, but sweet indie-folk track, focusing on Roland’s personal experience of having open heart surgery at just the age of 6. It is a very raw, ands tripped back track, using an intimate guitar/piano arrangement, really enables us to vison Roland’s feelings. The music is quite mellow, however it does build up to a strong and powerful climax, one full of strength and vulnerability.

In terms of vocals, again Fish And Scale has smashed it. He has a very raw and husky voice, creating a sense of intimacy and individuality. He has an incredible voice, one that is full of talent, and I cannot express how much you need to hear this track.
