Frightened Rabbit - Winter Of Mixed Drinks

Scott Hutchison told Ragged Words back in January that he “chucked the kitchen sink in” on album number three; given that his band are now, almost twelve months later, playing to much bigger audiences, it would appear the Frightened Rabbit frontman’s strategy has paid dividends. While not quite scaling the heights of 2008’s Midnight Organ Fight, this follow-up still managed to take the Scots perilously close to the big time, without forcing them to lose any or their passion and supreme songcraft along the way.
