It received a four-starred review in The Guardian. The album's title is derived from the words of one of its songs, "Mein Deern", about the dying hours of Heidi Tidow's German grandmother.[1] The album features guest performances by Andy Cutting, Jackie Oates, Jude Abbott, Cormac Byrne, Anna Esslemont, Sam Pegg, The Solo Players and London's Diversity Choir. Theme and songsAccording to O'Hooley & Tidow, all the songs on The Fragile are linked by the common theme of vulnerability.[1] A single from the album, "The Last Polar Bear", was released in November 2011. The track was reissued on 1 November 2012 as a double single with "Gentleman Jack".[2] This is a song, also from the album, about Anne Lister, an early 19th-century Yorkshire lesbian gentlewoman.[3] The words of "Little Boy Blue" are from a 19th-century poem by the American writer, Eugene Field. The poem, about a young boy and his toys, suggests that he dies and is taken by angels and his toys wait for him to return. "She Lived Beside the Anner" is a traditional folk song from Tipperary, Ireland.[4] ReceptionIn a four-starred review, Robin Denselow of The Guardian described The Fragile as an "intriguing, ambitious set" and said that the album's cover version of Massive Attack's "Teardrop" was "an exquisite reworking".[5] Guardian music critic Jude Rogers voted it as one of the best tracks of 2012.[6] Northern Sky praised the album's "complex string arrangements and fine instrumental accompaniment" and "highly accomplished pieces of musical composition; you can never second guess what's around the corner in terms of sonic exploration".[7] Reviewing the album for Folking.com, Dai Jeffries said "The confidence, power and earthiness of their voices both solo and in harmony are what shine through this excellent album.[8] Folk Wales Online described the album as a "beautiful, entrancing, hypnotic CD" and "breathtakingly original".[9]Northern Sky music magazine's reviewer described the song "The Last Polar Bear" as "utterly beautiful", saying "This is how love songs should be written".[10]Holger Brandstaedt, reviewing the album for FolkWorld, said: "The influence of the producer is unmistakable. Some of the tracks sound clearly by Chumbawumba, others have their godfathers in The Beautiful South".[11] Track listing
