It"s not often that an artist gets to do a Bowie by consciously carving their personal epitaph into the grooves of their final LP. The Highest in the Land is that rarity of an album, and it could not have been made by a more brilliantly poetic and fearlessly sarcastic writer than Pat Fish, also known as The Jazz Butcher. "My hair"s all wrong / My time ain"t long / Fishy go to Heaven, get along, get along," he sings, to a ticking-clock beat in "Time", rhyming its title with "a one-way ticket to a pit of Council lime" in just one of many existentially charged moments on a record whose songs were written throughout the last seven years of Fish"s life before his untimely passing in October 2021, aged only 63.
