The Quiet Table is the second studio album by the American rock band Three Fish. It was released on June 1, 1999 through Epic Records.

Overview[edit]

Three Fish is a musical collaboration between Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam, Robbi Robb of Tribe After Tribe, and Richard Stuverud of the Fastbacks. The album's recording sessions took place from February 1997 to September 1997 at Horseback Court in Blue Mountain, Montana, which is Ament's home studio. The band worked with producer Brett Eliason, who had previously worked with Ament as Pearl Jam's sound engineer. The album was mixed by Eliason. The album's cover art was photographed by Seattle graphic design firm Ames Bros. The album's songs continued the theme of the band's debut album, Three Fish, of combining rock music with mystical-style Eastern music. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic said that "while it can seem a little turgid at times, it's an ambitious project that often pays off in intriguing songs and evocative sonic textures."[1] The band toured throughout 1999 in support of The Quiet Table.
