Fiddlehead
Fiddlehead leader Pat Flynn discusses the passionate response to recent album Between the Richness, and trying to plan tours around a public school calendar.
Between the Richness, the second album from post-hardcore quintet Fiddlehead, is an emotionally pummeling meditation on grief, nostalgia and the passage of time defined by leader Pat Flynn’s ragged wail. Flynn focused the 25-minute follow-up to 2018’s
Springtime and Blind on his complicated feelings regarding the 10th anniversary of his father’s death and the birth of his son, both of which happened last year.
The result is a lean, absorbing record that, upon its release on Run For Cover Records in May, earned the biggest commercial success of Fiddlehead’s career peaking at No. 68 on the Top Album Sales chart and selling 7,000 copies to date in the U.S., according to MRC Data all while Flynn, a high school history teacher in the Boston area, was wrapping up his school year.

Five years have passed since Case’s last solo project,
The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight, the Harder I Fight, the More I Love You. In the interim, she sang on
Whiteout Conditions, the 2017 release from longtime bandmates the New Pornographers. The year before that, she released a vinyl box set of her solo work and joined k.d. Lang and Laura Veirs on the case/lang/veirs project.
Recording that record was a revelation, from Veirs’ innovative guitar tunings to Lang’s skills in studio. “I learned so much experiencing the work ethic of those two,” Case says. She considers Lang “probably the most natural producer I’ve ever seen. Watching her work was awe-inspiring.”
