Richard Tyler Epperson returns to Salt Lake City with his strongest and most honest work, Fragmented Night, a ten-track album incorporating elements of folk, indie rock, and dream-pop. With over ten years as a singer-songwriter and a specific intention to write songs that embrace emotional transparency and earnestness, Epperson's latest collection is his most textured, layered, and honest to date.
Beginning with the first track "December Night," moodily imbibed piano chords, perfect with Epperson's sweet vocal tone, sets an inviting fishbowl for the listener. The song flourishes into a light fantastical murmur of sound from a distance and process of sight. The following track "Let's Drive," pulls the listener back into a melodic breath of optimism, a tenacious road trip anthem that bands longing with a sense of freedom leading into the chorus. The song "All My Life," perhaps the most emotional heart of the collection includes vocals from Epperson's deceased father. This song speaks to love, memory, and the generational echoes of musical human life with poignant force.
The instrumentation is thick but never suffocating, with a lot of skilled hands working collaboratively; including Nate Barnes on drums, and Roman Styx mixing and mastering the album. Fragmented Night is not just an album, it is a confession, homage, and a journey through love, loss, and renewal. Epperson created a quietly bold masterpiece that anyone who seeks comfort, connection, or something genuine will appreciate.
