Frightened Rabbit are receiving infinitely more mainstream attention than they did back in the post-"Midnight Organ Fight" days. They placed top of my albums of 2008 list at a time when their rallying Scottish folk-rock had barely brushed the top of the blogosphere.
Now, a week before the release of their third album "The Winter Of Mixed Drinks" - they have taken the title of the most streamed artist on the UK Myspace charts. All of this from a band who a couple of years ago could sell out 400-strong venues across the US, whilst barely filling local pubs in Scotland or the UK.
Their new album has been streaming on Myspace in full for a week or so, and sounds fantastic. Although I have a few MP3s from the new one; strictly speaking i'd be breaking copyright by putting them up. So you'll have to live with the singles, which as fantastic as they are, have been around for a few months. The Winter Of Mixed Drinks drops March 9, 2010 in the US and today in the UK.
