Punk powerhouse Fiddlehead have released the second single, ‘Heart To Heart’, from their upcoming album ‘Between The Richness’. Check out the new track below.
Discussing the new song Patrick Flynn said “The lyrics to this song serve as both a letter to my children on how to communicate with me after I eventually move on into whatever comes after death, and an imagined conversation with my own father who is now 11 years gone.”
“Essentially, it’s a song about finding ways to reconnect with those we love, despite the hard barriers between life and death. The music has this feel of infinity to it. I remember hearing the ending for the first time and having the emotional impulse to tear through the channels of time and speak with the people who have gone into the unknown. That felt appropriate for the type of message I was trying to write.”

‘Between The Richness’ follows on from the band’s 2018 album ‘Springtime & Blind’, which was a gut-punch of an album that followed Patrick Flynn coming to grips with the passing of his father. The new album will explore the ever-presence of grief, but with Flynn now writing from a drastically different place.
“These massive things happened in my life between the first record and this record” he said. “It just so happened that I ended up getting married, I had a child, and it was around the 10-year anniversary of my father’s passing.”
On the new album, Flynn brings his experiences, diving into the paradoxes of life, death, joy, and pain – All whilst taking with stunning humanity and honesty. “The name of the record is called Between The Richness because it’s important to me to explore the weird feeling of happiness and sadness, because that’s just where I am right now” Flynn explains.
“My son’s name is Richard and my father’s name is Richard, so it’s literally between the two of them – it’s the richness of life and the richness of death.”
‘Between The Richness’ is set to release on May 21st, via Run For Cover Records, and can be pre-ordered here.
