The Raw Fish made up of Spike and Nicole was a duo conjured in the 1990's where they sold 10 cassette tape release. In a typical black and white photocopied design, The Raw Fish took the Singapore independent scene by surprise. Nobody could find them, while their 4 track Tascam awed the scene because not many people had this. Spike was rumoured to have auditioned for Mortal Flowers but decided to hang out with Nicole instead.
There was a social commentary immortalized by Lily Kong a local academic writing about local music in 1996 cited The Raw Fish on page 12.
This album however, has a new contrast to a very special sense of humour:
Has-been 80's musician types with no formal musical training, making an impossible comeback after all the rubber on the electric cords have gone gummy.

Brulcreme, bifocals, pistol, ciggy. All the allegory but no sign of Nicole. Where is she? Where are they going in the car. Is she in the trunk? Is that why spike is on a half day leave?
