ABOUT THIS ITEM

Frightened Rabbit are back with an EP of completely new material, the five track EP entitled ‘State Hospital’ EP (after the lead track) will be released on CD and 12” on 24th September through Atlantic Records.

The band’s most recent album, 2010’s “THE WINTER OF MIXED DRINKS” (FatCat Records), was met with much critical acclaim. The Guardian declared that “(Scott Hutchison’s) songwriting is sharp throughout and most of their songs – with themes of escape, freedom and reinvention – have huge impassioned choruses that are made to be shouted from the nearest available mountain…This is the sound of a band upping their game.”

Frightened Rabbit has performed countless headline shows, as well as sharing stages with artists like Modest Mouse and Atlantic labelmates Death Cab for Cutie. The band recently headlined one of the stages at Hop Farm Festival are due to support Biffy Clyro at this year’s iTunes Festival.

Frightened Rabbit is currently hard at work completing their Atlantic debut album, set for release in early 2013. The much-anticipated album was recorded at the famed Monnow Valley Studio in Rockfield, South Wales, with producer Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, David Byrne, Grace Jones) behind the board.
