Jim Derogatis of the Chicago Sun-Times calls Frightened
Rabbit “masters of the heartbreak anthem,” and there’s really no better way of
saying it. The Scottish quintet has been making desperately forlorn folk-rock
since forming in 2003. Lead singer-songwriter Scott Hutchison adopted the
moniker Frightened Rabbit, a nickname his mother used to call her socially
awkward child, when he was working alone, and it stuck as band members Grant
Hutchison (his brother), Billy Kennedy, Andy Monaghan and, most recently,
Gordon Skene joined the ranks. Scott Hutchison is the force behind the band’s
lyrics, which can be brutal take
“Keep Yourself Warm” from the band’s sophomore album, The Midnight Organ
Fight.
Let that song’s chorus hit you once, and you’ll never forget it.
Frightened Rabbit’s most recent release, The Winter of Mixed Drinks, is
even fuller and more luscious, and explores new facets of loneliness and
longing in beautiful, sweeping chords.

AustinChronicle on Frightened Rabbit
over 4 years agoWhat's refreshing about Glaswegian pop outfit Frightened Rabbits? No curveballs. The duo of brothers Grant and Scott Hutchison lays it all out there on Sing the Greys (Hits the Fan). It's raw and rambunctious but completely listenable, like Nick Cave after a particularly refreshing night's sleep. – Michael Bertin
