Formed with the most modest of expectations, Fiddlehead has unexpectedly become one of the most vital groups in rock music. Their fervent audience responds to the urgency of their music, but also the intensely human exploration of loss thats colored so much of the bands output. Fiddleheads previous albums, 2018s [i]Springtime and Blind[/i] and 2021s [i]Between The Richness[/i], dealt heavily with grief from different perspectives, and now their latest album, [i]Death Is Nothing To Us[/i], feels like a de facto culmination, drawing together many of the catalogs through-lines sonically and lyrically. The album finds Fiddlehead so deeply delving into the pain, confusion, nuances, and contradictions of sadnessso willingly wrapping their arms around a concept as existentially baffling as death itselfthat theyve created an album that is truly life-affirming.I dont want people to romanticize grief and depression, myself included, vocalist Patrick Flynn explains. But I wanted to write about the way loss can perpetuate this feeling of sadness in your life. I didnt 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 werent addressed previouslyespecially this feeling of stickiness that a depressive attitude can have. This is the mental space where [i]Death Is Nothing To Us[/i] exists, with Flynn observing the confounding allure of sorrow and the difficulty of holding onto so many conflicting internal and external hurts at once. He approaches this subject matter with a deftness and intensity that can only be matched by that of the music itself.Since forming in 2014, FiddleheadFlynn, drummer Shawn Costa, guitarists Alex Henery and Alex Dow, and bassist Nick Hinschhave been honing their unique sound, bringing together the energy of hardcore, the anthemic melodies of 90s alternative, the unbridled passion of Revolution Summer era emo. For [i]Death Is Nothing To Us[/i], the band again teamed with producer/engineer Chris Teti, and his punchy production captures the spark of Fiddleheads live show while doing justice to the massive guitars and undeniable catchiness that makes their music so immensely satisfying. The albums concise 27 minutes sound like a natural extension of all of the bands strengths, embracing the more melodic sensibilities of [i]Between The Richness[/i] while maintaining the visceral bite of [i]Springtime and Blind[/i]. We knew we wanted to do something a little more aggressive sounding, explains Henery. That kind of stuff grounds the band. I think maybe people would have expected us to go cleaner with this LP but I see this as a real mix of the first two.
