The album is the band's first studio record to feature bassist Bruce Gordon. Writing for the album began around January 1995, pre-production and recording took place in the fall, and mixing was done from November-December 1995. The album was somewhat of a continuance of the band's percussive, psychedelic sound, albeit this time with more of a post-grunge twist tinged with elements of both progressive rock and pop.

Critical reception

Scenery and Fish won the 1996 CASBY Award for "Favourite New Release".^[3] The album was nominated for "Rock Album of the Year" at the 1997 Juno Awards.^[4]
