Frightened Rabbit: "Fast Blood"

Frightened Rabbit are the latest in a series of blog bands to visit Madison this year -- we've had Ra Ra Riot, the Virgins, Vampire Weekend, Margot & the Nuclear So and So's, White Rabbits and the Whigs already. These guys are a bit different in that they are Scottish rather than American, but they largely fit with the blog band mode.

I'd been led to believe that their new album, The Midnight Organ, was somewhat more subdued than their live show, and it's true. Their set reminded me a bit of what I expected from their fellow countrymen of The Twilight Sad when they put the Terrace to sleep last summer -- pushy but not brash, and with a touch of fun in the dour.
