 And Its Christmas. December 11, 2008
R. Bloem (Adelaide, Australia)
I feel the same way after listening to The Midnight Organ Fight by Frightened Rabbit , as I did with Teenage Fanclub's "God Knows Its True" " back in 1990"s and some of their B sides. The feeling of being torn between the light and darkness of being Human.
Frightened Rabbit - It's Christmas So We'll Stop 2008 (320/Mp3) can be downloaded through Fatcat Records uk for 0.99 UK poumd.

just keep listening... October 2, 2008

I like to read a lot of reviews about artists and albums that I have never heard or better yet never even heard of. I came across this gem a few weeks ago doing just that.
Wow...the first couple of listens to this album I sort of didn't know how to feel about it--I wasn't sure if I enjoyed the lead singer's voice (him being Scottish) or not. So I gave it a few more listens. His voice grew on me. The lyrics grew on me. All the songs would not stop playing in my head. As a side note, if you are one that is easily offended by profanity, then a few of his lyrics will rub you the wrong way because he does use some choice words in a few songs. Even so, I highly recommend this album to anyone and everyone.
If at first listen you have doubts, give it some time. Keep Yourself Warm, Poke, Floating in the Forth just to name a few to push you over the hump.

There is a mix of both acoustic & electric songs on this mix. This is a great cd to chill to or sing along to. I was most impressed with the lyrics such in Heads Roll Off. There is a quest on this album, not just a moment like the Midnight Organ Fight. The scottish accent is not overdone such as with Idlewild, but these songs have a depth that lasts.

I had been telling people that this album sounded like "Scottish folk-pop". I have no idea what that means, really, but it sounded good. After a few more listens, it turns out that there is so much more to this album that some dumb made-up music genre.
One example:
"Fast Blood" seems simple enough: Four chords, Coldplay-like vocals leading into a really catchy chorus. "I get it", you might say at first, but the subtleties are caught in subsequent listens. The intro: the rest of the band is actually brought in on the second chord of the progression, giving an off-centered feel right away, as if they are catching up to the guitar. The second verse changes the feel of the song when the drummer switches to the high hat, a change emphasized by more straight-forward guitar strumming as well. These subtle transpositions turn these his good pop melodies into great songs. These song-shifting elements could have been left out in an attempt to dumb-down the songs for a wider audience. Man, I am glad they did not do that.
The most inconsistent part of the album is the lyrics. Although I personally find some moments of lyrical brilliance. "I Feel Better" finds him trying desperately to convince us (and himself) that this the it last song he will write about a past lover. However, the listener gets it and is unconvinced.
Overall: Well done. Highly recommended.
