Frightened Rabbit's sophomore album, The Midnight Organ Fight, has been on constant rotation on my stereo for the past few months. It's an outstanding quirky pop effort, and an enormous step up from their debut album, Sing The Greys. This album shows off unique songwriting and vocal delivery, mixed atop a bright folk/rock landscape. Some of the songs especially stand out, such as "My Backwards Walk" (listen below), which became an immediate favorite of mine, with wonderful delivery of rather ingenious lyrics. The Midnight Organ Fight was produced by Peter Katis, who is one of the best indie rock producers out there right now. He has recorded albums for the National, Interpol, Tokyo Police Club, the Grates, and many, many more. His voice on Frightened Rabbit's new album can be heard through layers upon layers of melodic instrumentation, which add wonderful textures not heard from them in the past.I recently caught the band live and was rather unenthusiastic about their live performance -- but I don't want to taint any first listeners from hearing The Midnight Organ Fight, which is truly great. So we'll save those thoughts for another time.
