"...And we can drown in pools of the thick dark words we threw..."
my favorite so far off frightened rabbit's new album, winter of mixed drinks. which is quite appropriate, not because of anything to do with the band; because it happens to sum up my winter socializing... it was, indeed, filled with mixed drinks.... required consumption in a chicago winter, me thinks.
"...in water, salt and sky."
was excited to be welcomed into gg's car last night by the familiar sound of Frightened Rabbit via an unfamiliar song. which could only mean one thing... it snuck up on me, but their new album is out! it only took me 2 or so years to become infatuated with their first album, so i suppose there's no rush on this one either. but from the sound of the songs i heard, it's gonna be a goody.
"... and the pull of the moon."
More Frightened Rabbits. Because they good. Real good. Damn good.
"... something carries on. And it's not morbid at all."
This ditty and video were circulating a lot last year, but I finally got around to buying "The Midnight Organ Fight" by Frightened Rabbit, and *maybe because I'd heard it before* this tune jumped right out at me. Am I the only one who thinks the lead vocals channel Adam Duritz a bit?
Then I got two songs further into the album and heard this one ("Keep Yourself Warm"). I got into it enough not to realize "it takes more than fucking someone to keep yourself warm" and "you won't find love in a hole" were blaring out of my office and trickling down the hallway. Someone actually peered in quizzically and jarred me from my reverie. But, really, who can't appreciate those line? GTA, not included.
