Michael Bernard Fitzgerald bio~
In 2024, Michael Bernard Fitzgerald returns with his sixth studio album, Horizon Lines, a poignant exploration of self-discovery and a worthy follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2020 LP, Love Valley. Building on the success of his previous work, Fitzgerald’s newest record delves into the transformative journey of fatherhood, blending soulful melodies with introspective lyrics that resonate deeply with listeners.
Recorded in the cozy confines of his home Horizon Lines embodies a unique blend of nostalgia and authenticity. Fitzgerald recalls, "Recording for Horizon Lines began at home at the tail end of the pandemic. I went into this cycle knowing it was time to make new music but unsure of what to write. My last record, Love Valley, was my most successful work to date, and after such a shift in the industry post-pandemic, I had no idea where to start with something new." Partnering with friend and producer Josh Gwilliam, Fitzgerald and Gwilliam navigated their new realities of parenthood and the reopening world by collaborating remotely—sharing voice notes, percussion loops, and audio files through sleepless nights and nap times. This unconventional approach led to a record that captures the essence of finding oneself in a new way, often with the gentle sounds of Fitzgerald’s family life making their way into the final mixes.
