Artist:	FRIGHTENED RABBIT
Title:	Sing the Greys
Label:	FAT CAT (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	FAT 067CD

2006 release. "An unconventional three-piece with a defined personality, and a gift for being able to nail a near perfect pop song, Frightened Rabbit convey candid tales of ordinary folk with a wry, acerbic wit via an eloquent, emotive, modern garage-pop aesthetic. Lyrically ranging from incisive social commentary, to lucid, humourous explorations of interpersonal relationships, Scott's songs are essentially folk-tinged pop songs with more fervent ambitions. At times recalling the ragged, muscular delivery of emo/punk three pieces such as early (electric period) Sebadoh, Frightened Rabbit's ouvre is nevertheless unfettered by any such aspirations, and harbours a more universal agenda. Somewhat atypically there is no bass, but crucially nothing is missing; Billy's second guitar augments or bolsters Scott's guitar/vocal hub, or drops an octave to add weight or bottom end. Grant's drum patterns are alternately or simultaneously physical and adroit, adding accent and eloquence to the score. But primarily, Frightened Rabbit is so much more than a sum of these parts, the band combining together to form something complete, singular and life-affirming."

Title:	The Midnight Organ Fight
Label:	FAT CAT (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	FAT 070CD

2008 release. "Recorded by Peter Katis (Mercury Rev, Interpol) over the space of two weeks, and mixed over the ensuing fortnight, Midnight was written with the intention of creating a more 'pop' sounding album. Yet although musically more immediate, vitally, the band have not forsaken the personality or passion of any of their earlier recordings. Scott Rabbit expands: 'I feel the general FR weirdness is still apparent in the lyrics and this makes for an interesting sort of juxtaposition. It sounds kind of clean, but its actually pretty fucking dirty once you get listening. Saying that, i hope all the reasons why people loved Frightened Rabbit in the first place are still there, only they may have been amplified somewhat'."

Title:	The Winter Of Mixed Drinks
Label:	FAT CAT (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	FAT 084CD

"With their sophomore outing The Midnight Organ Fight a fixture on 2008's Best Of The Year circuit, a fanbase increasing in both size and devotion, and multiple sold-out tours of ever-larger venues under their belts, Glasgow-based Frightened Rabbit are releasing their third album to towering expectations. The Winter Of Mixed Drinks -- a collection of ambitious, moving, and gloriously accomplished songs -- more than meets this challenge."
