Minor Dents, Brighton’s propulsive and distinctly trippy psychedelic pop trio, present their debut vinyl LP ‘Sitting With The Fish’ – a co-release through Rose Hill Records and Italian label Disasters By Choice.
The six track album is a panoramic showcase for the band’s unique sonic collage, which takes in a wide sweep of sounds. You can hear the motorik elements of the sound of Neu! and Can, the 60s psychedelia of Jefferson Airplane and Silver Apples, the Canterbury scene, the punkier end of Blondie and ESG, Patti Smith’s Blake-esque visions, the analogue synth attack of Add N to (X), Monte Cazazza and more.
The trio are Holly Finch on vocals and bass, Ryan Bollard on drums and Al Strachan on keys, cornet and electronics. They’ve been meeting weekly to make music since 2022, but 2026 saw a flurry of activity starting with their Lewes Psychedelic Festival appearance in January and the release their debut EP the same day. The acclaim surrounding the four track EP came to the attention of Italy’s Disasters By Choice label, who persuaded the band to expand its offering into what has become the Sitting With The Fish vinyl LP – a co-release between them and Rose Hill Records.
