Frightened Rabbit is among the most acclaimed bands of the past decade, earning wide-ranging critical applause and a
fervent international fan following with their emotionally exhilarating melodies and scathingly frank lyricism. The band’s
most recent full-length, 2010’s The Winter Of Mixed Drinks (FatCat Records), was met with unanimous acclaim both here
and at home. The Guardian’s Dave Simpson declared that “(Scott Hutchison’s) songwriting is sharp throughout and most
of their songs – with themes of escape, freedom and reinvention – have huge impassioned choruses that are made to be
shouted from the nearest available mountain…This is the sound of a band upping their game.” What’s more, The Winter Of
Mixed Drinks was selected by NPR listeners as one of their “50 Favorite Albums of 2010.”
