Quirky, empowered alt-pop that’s loaded with sonic surprises. Montaigne’s first fully independent album it’s hard to be a fish is a strange, tender epic – a record about family, survival, disconnection, and the slow work of becoming whole. It swims through grief, brushes against empathy, and emerges with something quietly powerful.
Built like a world inside a world, the album draws on RPGs, Kingdom Hearts, Disco Elysium, and the chaos of Everything Everywhere All At Once. Long-time bandmates, Montaigne’s partner, and Shuta Nishida helped shape this beautifully personal universe.
