Little Hell, City and Colour's third album, arrived in 2011 on Dine Alone Records, and "Fragile Bird" was the song sent out ahead of it. Dallas Green wrote both the music and the words, and Alex Newport took charge of nearly everything else: producing, engineering, recording and mixing, with Nick Skalkos on drums.
Canada's alternative rock audience grabbed hold and wouldn't let go: it held No. 1 on the national alternative rock chart for 9 weeks, even though its stay on the Canadian Hot 100 lasted just a single week, peaking at 48.
