(Self-released, digital) I wonder how many records were made because someone went west to find better fishing? I m going to go out on a limb and say
one. There s an album that happened specifically because a fisherman, who is also an indie-rock musician, felt like hunting the icy waters off the Alaskan coast. (Note to anyone thinking of sending me a Jimmy Buffett record: 1.
Gross. 2. Even if he did go fishing in Alaska and wrote a song called King Crabs Got Me Down, it doesn t count. Don t @ me.) That musician is Burlington s Tristan Baribeau. Way back in 2013, the songwriter, who also played with indie rockers Villanelles, made the trek out west in search of a better haul. Between his fishing trips and visits home, Baribeau recorded seven songs chronicling his various experiences, mishaps and oscillating emotions.
