New Fragility - Vinyle Bone Opaque

Description

Both personal and universal, *New Fragility* confronts many modern ills. The album deals with a personal feeling certainly felt by everyone in these pandemic times: the frustrating impression of trying to move forward in almost cruel uncertainty. Taken from “Forever Overheard,” a short story by David Foster Wallace from the collection *Brief Interviews With Hideous Men*, the song "New Fragility" documents what happens directly after a long relationship ends, and what one discovers shortly after. The album offers some of Alec Ounsworth's most successful vocal expressions to date: a quivering sound shifting from lament to a low growl in the blink of an eye, a remarkable expressive instrument that fits perfectly within the divinely elaborate orchestration. For over 15 years, it has undoubtedly been one of the most remarkable voices on the indie scene, and it has never sounded so rich and balanced!
