Salutations to one and all!
On this sacred day celebrating the coming of the first zombie, Jesus, I would like to introduce some folks to a lovely little group entitled, Frightned Rabbit. I thought it was the perfect time figuring in that bunnies and Jesus go hand-in-hand.
They hale from across the pond (Scottland), and are one amazing foursome of a band. If I had to describe their sound as a mixture of two different bands, I would say the Counting Crows and Death Cab for Cutie had an adorable little Scottish baby. The conglomeration of folky stylings, beautiful electric guitar tones, amazing use of reverbs (on all sorts), and soft spoken but well spoken vocals, make for a band that will inspire generations to come!
Frightened Rabbit's 2010 release of 'The Winter of Mixed Drinks' is a solid feat of recording. Being their third studio record, they seem to have worked out all of the kinks and have mastered their own personal art of songwriting & home-brew recording. Don't get me wrong, 'Sing the Greys' (2006), and 'The Midnight Organ Fight' (2008) are truly awesome recordings, but The Winter of Mixed Drinks is both polished and, to me, seems more whole, within the idea of an album.
Give 'em a go, chaps! Bands in the next decade will be saying that Frightened Rabbit were one of their influences, and I know I'll be saying that.
Suggested Listening:
