With their third album,\u00a0‘Death Is Nothing To Us<\/a>‘<\/em>, set to be released on August 18th (via Run For Cover Records<\/strong>), Fiddlehead<\/strong> have shared a second track from the record in the form of\u00a0‘Sleepyhead’<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The track captures the quintet’s combustible hardcore energy and combines it with a ’90s rock influence. While it allows vocalist Pat Flynn to demonstrate his range in a swift 2 minutes and 16 seconds.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s no real great lyrical upside to this song. I wanted to write a song that could capture the stuck-ness that comes with deep depression. Ultimately, this is a song about tuning out and looking away from the brokenness in one\u2019s life on earth in favour of quick comfort,”<\/em> explained Flynn.<\/p>\n

“It is kind of a conversation between two people or two minds. The so-called \u2018Sleepyhead\u2019 is a woeful person depressed by the way of the world who chooses to deal with the sadness of it all with excessive sleep. Somewhere in there, however, is a voice of reason that offers perspective – but, to no avail, as the two voices come together in resignation to the weight of the hold that a thick \u2018bout of deep depression\u2019 can lay on someone. I see the song as essential to the arc of the record, which ultimately turned out to be a climb out of such a sad state. So, perhaps that\u2019s the upside?”<\/em><\/p>\n
