Fiddlehead - Baby I'll Change [EP]

Fiddlehead are back! The beloved band have returned with the announcement of a new three-song EP, Baby I’ll Change, arriving this Friday, June 26th, via Run For Cover Records.

Baby I’ll Change is Fiddlehead‘s first new music since their acclaimed 2023 full-length, Death Is Nothing To Us, (which drew praise from Stereogum, Pitchfork, The FADER, SPIN Magazine, FLOOD Magazine, BrooklynVegan, Uproxx, Revolver Magazine, and many more), and it marks an exciting evolution in the band’s approach and sound.

“We’ve gone into every record with the idea that it might be the last thing we ever do,” explains vocalist Patrick Flynn. “Everything’s been treated that way because of the nature of our lives and our relationship with making music and creating art; it’s not career-driven.” In spite of, or more likely because of, this mindset, Fiddlehead have become an incredibly vital band in modern punk music and beyond. Now, in the wake of more personal loss, the band found renewed purpose and convened in North Carolina with producer Alex Farrar (Wednesday, Archers of Loaf, M.J. Lenderman) to make Baby I’ll Change: simply put, the three best Fiddlehead songs to date.

Lead single and title track “Baby I’ll Change” is out today along with a stirringly cinematic music video. It’s a truly stunning song that harnesses all of Fiddlehead‘s fire and melodicism and channels it into something definitively new. Sprawling over four minutes, the track builds from a simple guitar line and surprisingly delicate vocal performance from Flynn, into a rousingly anthemic, goosebump-inducing finale that seems to make it clear: so much of life is fleeting, but Fiddlehead are here to stay.
