Frightened Rabbit

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Playing clever but purposefully naοve pop in the manner of the Vaselines, the Twilight Sad, and the Clean, Frightened Rabbit sound a good bit bolder than their moniker would suggest, though it suits their lively but nervous musical personality. Frightened Rabbit was founded in Glasgow, Scotland, in 2004, when guitarist Scott Hutchison and his brother Grant, a percussionist who like his sibling prefers to keep his last name a secret, began recording demos of songs they had written.

Liver! Lung! FR! is Frightened Rabbit at their very best - live. The intimate, mostly-acoustic set documented here was recorded in July 2008 in Glasgow and mixed by Mice Parade's Adam Pierce.

Though the past year has seen Frightened Rabbit finally step into public view, with more extensive touring and some recordings now publicly available, the past few years have largely been about the band quietly, commitedly honing their sound, and cultivating their art. Now a three-piece comprising Scott, Billy and Grant, the origins of the band are rooted in 2003, when Scott began playing solo shows under the name Frightened Rabbit, mostly in support of fellow art-schoolers Shitdisco.

The Glasgow quartet Frightened Rabbit writes yearning, determined songs. Chugging, low-key verses open up into stratospheric choruses, merging the anthemic tendencies of bands like James and Snow Patrol with a ragged American indie-rock aesthetic.
