On February 27, 2023, feeble little horse announced their second album with Saddle Creek, Girl with Fish, and issued the album's first single, "Tin Man." The single was followed by a second track, "Steamroller," on April 4, 2023, and a third track, "Pocket," on May 10, 2023. The album was released on June 9, 2023.[7][8] A three-week tour of the album across the United States was cancelled on June 22, 2023, three days before it was set to commence.
