The album features McGlynn’s crystalline fingerstyle guitar, augmented with storytelling lyrics all centered by McGlynn’s heartfelt voice. When asked about his hiatus from recording he simply responds “Fragments has been a long time coming. It wasn’t the right time,” is the answer to the question why did you wait so long to release it? Her furthers, “The collaboration with Rebecca was a matter of chance and great luck. Her sublime synth work and production have elevated this beautiful album into an artistic masterpiece that closes the door on two decades of work.” Indeed, it is a savored return. McGlynn proves once again why he is a timeless artist worth the wait. Just hopefully this time, it won’t be so long in between recordings. Until then, there is so much to savor on Fragments. That’s the short of it!
