Fiddlehead are back with details of their third LP.
The Boston post-hardcore supergroup, featuring members of Have Heart, Basement, Big Contest, Stand Off and Nuclear Age, will return with 'Death Is Nothing To Us' on August 18 via Run For Cover Records.
Exploring loss, vulnerability and sadness, the release will complete a trilogy of records of a similar theme that started with 2018's 'Springtime And Blind' and continued with 'Between The Richness' in 2021. Vocalist Patrick Flynn explained:
"I don’t want people to romanticise grief and depression, myself included. But I wanted to write about the way loss can perpetuate this feeling of sadness in your life. I didn’t intend to make some kind of thematic trilogy but there is this connection to the first two records, and this album sort of rounds out some of the stages of grief that weren’t addressed previously–especially this feeling of stickiness that a depressive attitude can have."
As a preview, they've dropped the record's first single, Sullenboy, which offers '90s alt-rock nostalgia among a barrage of hooks and punk-infused melodics. Press play below.
To celebrate the news, they've announced a UK show at The Garage in London for February 23, 2024. Tickets go on general sale at 10am this Friday (June 9).
They also have Stateside dates with Citizen in the diary for the summer, followed by their own headline US shows in September and October.
