We got alot of love for Frightened Rabbit. When musing upon their new album, we called Pedestrian Verse "a collection of songs that are beautifully honest, superbly melodic and knowingly direct." 'Backyard Skulls' inparticular came in for praise: "Tracks such as the driving, anthemic ‘Backyard Skulls’ provide muscle, building on a rumbling bass motif and urgent drums into a melody so windingly confident it is easy to forget that Hutchinson is essentially singing about digging up people in his back garden, cooing “all our secrets are smothered in dirt underneath paving stones, lying, waiting [...]
The FRIGHTENED RABBIT attempt to entertain a prom in their new video BACKYARD SKULLS .
The FRIGHTENED RABBIT are hungry so go hunting in their nostrils for TODAY'S CROSS and its new video.
"This is a collection of songs that are beautifully honest, superbly melodic and knowingly direct..." Frightened Rabbit | Pedestrian Verse The rise of Frightened Rabbit has been a slow process. 20082s The Midnight Organ Fight introduced them to many as the emotionally raw, yet pop-smart cousins of Broken Records, with Scott Hutchinson's rich Scottish brogue and intensely personal lyrics earning them a modest but fiercely loyal following. 20102s Winter of Mixed Drinks added layers, further melodic muscle and a hint of production sheen to the equation and moved away from Hutchinson's spleen-venting [...]
Frightened Rabbit are on the verge of releasing their fourth studio album, the absolutely wonderful Pedestrian Verse . To celebrate this the Scottish quartet popped by Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show this week to play a few new tracks including this, the record's first single, The Woodpile. It is a brilliantly faithful rendition, with Scott Hutchinson's rich brogue punching through the guitars and clattered drums. It is the sound of a band standing on the edge of big, big things. Download - Frightened Rabbit - The Woodpile (BBC Radio 1)
If you missed the FRIGHTENED RABBIT 's new song premiering on Zane Lowe last night and don't know how to operate the internet, here's their v v v good new video, THE WOODPILE .
I love Frightened Rabbit. Nobody puts their heart on their sleeve quite like singer Scott does. 'The Woodpile' is a statement about the amount of murders that take place in the US. Or it's a delightful misunderstanding. Hands up who can spot the other members of the Scottish band! Taken [Read more]
We called Frightened Rabbits' last record, The Winter of Mixed Drinks , the 10th best album of 2010, summarising that ‘the Selkirk quintet specialise in putting the stomach-churning honesty of man’s darkest thoughts alongside grand, uplifting orchestration. A genuinely fantastic album…’ No surprises then that we are very excited about its follow-up, Pedestrian Verse , due out early next year. Zane Lowe gave its first single a spin just this very eve and to celebrate the band have unleashed the video almost instantaneously. 'The Woodpile' is a big, bruised [...]
You should be rejoicing as I am, because in a couple of months we're going to be treated to a brand new album by Frightened Rabbit . Pedestrian Verse will be released via Atlantic/Canvasback records on February 5th, and is an album that we've already heard "State Hospital" and "Dead Now" from. Today you can add the LP's fourth track "The Woodpile" to the mix, and get to warming your cockles amid the track's burgeoning incandescence. Connect with Frightened Rabbit : [...]
Ooh Scottish indie-folkers the FRIGHTENED RABBIT have been on tour, took a camera with them, and unleashed that footage for new mp3, DEAD NOW .
It's Labor Day here in the U.S. so most of the awesome music we publish today we'll be non-US-based, in fact I might even just leave it with this Frightened Rabbit video. This marks the fourth post we've done on "State Hospital" and the fifth it's been mentioned if you count our post on their other new EP track "Wedding Gloves" , but this time around it's a gorgeous acoustic live session filmed on the remote Scottish island of Skye before [...]
At this point I probably shouldn't have to explain that Frightened Rabbit have a new EP coming out in September, but just in case you weren't aware: Frightened Rabbit have a new EP coming out in September. Cool, now that we're up to speed, we've already been graced with the EP's title track "State Hospital" and it's harrowing video , but last night on Vic Galloway's BBC Radio Scotland show he premiered another new track "Wedding Gloves" , this time featuring [...]
A series of violent, painful flashbacks, just as I'm about to leave the office, and here's the FRIGHTENED RABBIT 's new video, STATE HOSPITAL .
If you've heard the new Frightened Rabbit track "State Hospital" that we've been raving about for the last couple of weeks then you'll no doubt have paid attention to the heartbreaking but hopeful lyrics. When they're paired with the visuals they've put together for the song's video, though, it really drives the message home. Throughout the entire video you have an idea of how it's going to end, until you get to the end that is. The State Hospital [...]

![[Listen] – Two New Songs By Frightened Rabbit – “Fuck This Place” (Featuring Tracyanne Campbell From Camera Obscura) & “The Work”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3604253_lg.jpg)
Tweet A few days ago Frightened Rabbit embarked on a supporting tour with Death Cab For Cutie across the U.S., and as they're prone to do on a daily basis the band were posting updates about it on their Twitter/Facebook pages. One such update said this: "Those of you at The Grog Shop tonight get the first chance to buy our new tour EP. Loook! New songs inside. http://lockerz.com/s/123909484 ". It seems to have gone largely unnoticed, mainly [...]
![[Listen/Watch] – New Song By Frightened Rabbit – “Scottish Wind”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3537129_lg.jpg)
Tweet Probably to the dismay of LBYB's fearless leader, Frank, I know very little about Scotland. I know it's part of the UK, the accents are weird (sometimes sexy), they like soccer (yawn), and something about a Loch Ness monster. But who cares about all that because aside from the fact that it's apparently also windy, they also have some great bands. Frightened Rabbit , originally from Selkirk (no clue where that is) but now based in Glasgow (I think I've heard of that), [...]
With a new, tighter sound and an upcoming opening spot for Death Cab For Cutie's summer tour, Scotland's Frightened Rabbit landed on our 15 Hottest Summer Tours list for 2011. Now, it appears the guys will also have some fresh material for their month-long U.S. jaunt. During last weekend's RockNess music festival, located on the surroundings of Loch Ness, UK, the local favorites sat down with the BBC for a short televised acoustic set. Above, watch Scott and Grant Hutchinson perform "Scottish Wind" as the winds sweep through the picturesque festival highlands. The track can also [...]
![[Listen/Download] – Frightened Rabbit Cover Lemonheads – “Confetti”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2663474_lg.jpg)
I read about this last week when it was making the blog rounds, but I didn't actually watch the video until Peenko asked me if I was able to. You see, Peenko lives in Scotland and can't view the video because of lame copyright/licensing laws. I on the other hand, even though I'm from Scotland, live in the U.S., so I could see the video. So because he did me a solid, I did him a solid and ripped the audio from the video for him. He posted it yesterday, and today it's my turn. It's [...]
![[Watch] – Frightened Rabbit Perform “Nothing Like You” Live On Jimmy Fallon](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2574339_lg.jpg)
Frightened Rabbit made their first live appearance on U.S. late night TV this morning playing a rousing rendition of "Nothing Like You" on Jimmy Fallon. They've been touring the U.S. for the last month or so in promotion of their latest (stunning) album "The Winter Of Mixed Drinks". I reviewed it back in March and posted a stream to listen to it all for free, so check it out and see what you've been missing. Yeah you've been missing a lot. "The Winter of Mixed Drinks" is out now on Fat Cat Records. [...]
