Frightened Rabbit - New album details & huge Edinburgh Hogmanay show announced

Frightened Rabbit?s steady ascent is set to rise incrementally with the release of new album, ?The Winter Of Mixed Drinks? (FatCat, March 1st), appetite for which has been further stoked by the anthemic ?Swim Until You Can?t See Land? teaser single which has earned the band their first Zane Lowe plays, a Culture Show appearance and unaminous critcal acclaim.



In order to facilitate the new material and flesh out the older tunes live, the band ? once upon a time simply Scott alone ? have expanded to a five piece with the addition of new member Gordon Skene (formerly of Make Model). ?We want to do the recordings justice when we play them live. Gordon will be playing a bundle of instruments - we just bought a tasty wee mandolin for him to fiddle with today. We're really excited to have him involved.?
