Sekirk, Scotland's Frightened Rabbit have dominated my iPod for the better the part of the last two years. The Midnight Organ Fight was my favorite album of the summer of 2008 and has been a go to for me ever since.
In the past few months they've sort of faded out of my radar. I wasn't sure when anything new was coming from them. Finally, word of an as-yet-untitled (Wikipedia is calling it "The Winter of Mixed Drinks", but I've heard nothing about that title before) album scheduled for a Spring 2010 release began to trickle in. They continue the trend of catchy, emotional indie pop anchored by some fantastic drums and Scott Hutchinson's signature vocals, thick Scottish accent included.
An official video for "Swim Until You Can't See Land" has hit the web. Wonderfully simple and awesome music video captures the feel of this band. This is shaping up to be my summer 2010 anthem.
The "Swim Until You Can't See Land"/"Fun Stuff" 7" Vinyl on FatCat Records comes out 11/16. You should preorder it here.
And for those of you that really want to jump in, enjoy their previous two albums:
Sing the Greys (2006)
