Product 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
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.
Alarming!
Once upon a time Glasgow produced something wonderful every couple of months, from Postcard to Chemikal Underground, the city was a trailblazer in independent music for more than 20 years. Sadly things seem to be in decline. Looking desperately for something that might restore the tarnishing The Fratellis have inflicted to the cities musical reputation I bought Frightened Rabbit's 'The Midnight Organ Fight' with high hopes given some of the things I'd heard about it; sadly the accolades are ill deserved.
In fairness, Frightened Rabbit aren't cookie cutter garbage a la The Fratellis, they have attempted something verging on unique and personal, however when it comes down to it the song writing is hardly anything special, the production is TERRIBLE (no producer is listed in the credits which tells you something) and the bands sound, particularly Scott Hutchinson's voice, is wearing and ultimately irritating.
In conclusion then, Frightened Rabbit might not be the worst band around at the moment but on this evidence they are a long, long way from being anything special.
