Frightened Rabbit are a genuine word-of-mouth band. I heard about them through a friend (whose recommendations I normally try and ignore on principle) and since then have myself badgered others into giving them a try. All are now converts to the Scots' unique, iconic brand of electric folk-rock.
But this, the first cut from their upcoming third record, has more to it. Without compromising their roots it has a more mainstream feel thanks to the memorable chiming, graceful piano at the centre of the track. It seems that this is FR's attempts at breaking through.
Nobody could say they don't deserve it. The Midnight Organ Fight is a genuine masterpiece and their cover of dance classic Set You Free has to be heard to be believed.
For now though, I'm more than happy to have Frightened Rabbit as my secret little pleasure before they become massive, as they surely will, in 2010.
