fish narc (the musical moniker of Olympia, WA-based songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Ben Funkhouser) recently announced his new album, Uncle, due out October 16th via the legendary K Records. Today he's back with a new single "Big Dumb World."

Uncle arrives barely a year after fish narc's 2025 album, frog song, which drew acclaim for fully embracing the guitar-led influences that have always been a part of Funkhouser's genre-hopping songwriting. Uncle picks up that creative momentum and runs with it. Funkhouser teamed with producer/engineer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, MJ Lenderman, Archers of Loaf, Fiddlehead) and leaned even further on the evergreen sounds '80s and '90s alternative rock, making not only the best fish narc album to date, but one of the most satisfying rock albums of the year.
