CD Description
Emerging from Glasgow in 2006, indie-rock quartet Frightened Rabbit follow their debut LP 'Sings The Greys' (a collection of demo recordings) with 'The Midnight Organ Fight'. There is already a marked progression from the scratchier, noisier early recordings to this release, an altogether more polished affair with stronger instrumentation and more accomplished production. The lyrical themes, though, belie the directpop nature of the music, often containing challenging, sordid and emotionally-wrought intimations. 'The Midnight Organ Fight' contains the single 'Head Rolls Off', partly a reflection on the power of religion as propaganda.

Customer Reviews

ABSOLUTE GENIUS!
I'm going to keep this very simple...this is THE best album of 2008 - no question! I'm a big fan of guitar bands and buy lots of music (too much if I'm honest, maybe 6 albums a week) so trust me when I tell you that I know what I'm talking about!
Frightened Rabbit are a rare band - talented, passionate, interesting yet incredibly likeable. Some people may find some of their lyrics a little too dark (especially concerning the tracks 'The Modern Leper' and 'Poke') but Frightened Rabbit are much more than just slightly disturbing lyrics. I really can't think of a band to compare them to, and although Snow Patrol and Idlewild have a similar sound, both these bands are far more lightweight and 'fluffy' to deserve to be compared to F.R.
All I can do is urge you to take a chance on this criminally underated band! I suspect by the time their third album is released (in 2009?) they'll be seen as much more than the new small band they are at the min! Dive in and enjoy...

top notch
This album is great, the production is a whole lot better than the first and it just seems to work as an album that you have to listen from start to finish rather than just playing certain tracks. fab.

Run Rabbit Run

I first heard Frightened Rabbit perform on the Gaelic language channel BBC Alba's Rapal Indie Rock show. It was enough to seek out more aural delights from the Scottish four piece.
Their Myspace page confirms suspicions that FR are a notch above most up and coming Indie bands. A first listen to 'The midnight organ feast' offers the final verdict. These Rabbits run !
There is an American tinge to their music. Part Counting Crows part The Shins. Heavily guitar laden with organs and a neat drum section bringing up the rear. The whole 14 track package unwraps seamlessly into a 4 star outing of which the single 'heads roll off' reveals itself as an absolute classic track which stands up alongside the best of the best.
Will Frightened Rabbit become a name in the game or remain a cultish underground ensemble ....only time will tell? Well worth a listen.
