Behind The Pale

Limited CD edition housed in a heavy stock, handcrafted 7 x 5 book-style case with glass mastered CD and a download of the album in high quality format. 2017 release. William Ryan Fritch returns with this full-length album, a hard-fought and highly personal one, entitled, Behind The Pale. It is a stirring and profoundly beautiful rendering of a very trying time in Fritchs life, one filled with uncertainty, vulnerability, hope and strained resolve. Its the kind of narrative that outside explanations often make light of, become too superfluous with, or fall short of giving true meaning to. Like all good art, it does its best to translate complex, abstract emotions into palpable and compelling expression. This album, given Fritch's vast and varied musical talents, evades easy stylistic and genre classification.
