New Frightened Rabbit Track Released, Returns To Chicago November 4

The powerful Scottish quartet Frightened Rabbit have had my attention for the past few years. Their 2008 album The Midnight Organ Fight is bursting with anxious anthems on the travails of love that carry the bitter bite of someone who is on the wrong end of relationships. I happened to be in London when they were on that supporting tour and caught their show in a small pub in Brixton. Their energy and emotion playing for around 200 people has made me a committed fan. This year's release The Winter Of Mixed Drinks and their performance at Lollapalooza is more cannon fodder for the lovelorn and the passion-filled. If you missed them, they are on an extended tour with a November 4th stop at the House of Blues in Chicago.

Getting a new song from Frightened Rabbit so soon after an album release is definitely a big bonus. This raw track starts as an aching dirge in a empty hall, then builds with a distant guitar riff an a hurdy-gurdy that pines for someone to listen. Check it out below.
