Lineup and details
Frightened Rabbit’s second album ‘The Midnight Organ Fight’, released on Fat Cat Records – original home to Sigur Ros and Animal Collective, gained rave reviews from the likes of NME (8/10), Drowned in Sound (9/10), The Fly (4.5/5) and even The Sun (4/5)! Unlike their label predecessors though, the band ‘have a high enough ratio of pop hooks’ that ‘could very well catapult Frightened Rabbit into the mainstream, and deservedly so’ (DiS).
Their emotionally bare but accessible sound has led to their song ‘Good Arms vs Bad Arms’ being used on the TV series ‘Grey’s Anatomy’. Alongside their singles ‘The Twist’, ‘Head Rolls Off’, and ‘I Feel Better’, they have also successfully covered ‘Fake Empire’ by The National and, quite remarkably, ‘Set You Free’ by N-Trance (see youtube link below), notching up over half a million myspace plays along the way.
