[FFFest Preview - Frightened Rabbit]
With ACL done and finished, Austinites are again rolling up their sleeves as another set of park is primed to be reclaimed in the sweet and holy name of music. Presented here on Both Sides everyday up until the weekend of the fest itself will be one artist from the Fun Fun Fun roster.
"A cripple walks amongst all you tired human beings..."
Ah, Frightened Rabbit. Employing things I love to hear - obscure instruments, giddy little keys, handclapping - this Glaswegian (or is it Selkirk nowadays?) group creatively crafts poppy little ditties that are hardly what they appear to be on the surface. Despite the enunciation of "wee" in "Glaswegian," these anthems seem to dig down rather than build up. Poppy heartache with a hint of folk cushioned by well-thought lyrics and finely crafted beats. Frightened Rabbit is one band to look forward to at this year's Fun Fun Fun.
Various Songs From Frightened Rabbit (all songs are right click - save as):
The Modern Leper
Keep Yourself Warm
Good Arms VS Bad Arms
