Frightened Rabbit: Death Dream 

Almost three years ago, I wrote about Frightened Rabbit’s release State Hospital:

“There are days when I hate pretty much everything, except my little island of people and the way Scott Hutchinson pronounces the word threadbare. I’m not sure whether listening to Frightened Rabbit is helpful or not, but it feels right.” 

This is still true, and will probably also be an accurate description of their new release. The title of the record sums up Frightened Rabbit: Painting of A Panic Attack. (out April 4th on Canvasback/Atlantic)

Depressing and beautiful. Helpful or not, that is my favorite aesthetic.
