13 FOR 2013: FRIGHTENED RABBIT Building on their critically-acclaimed, grandiose EP ‘State Hospital’, Frightened Rabbit finish up their 2013 headline UK tour with dates in Edinburgh and Glasgow. With the follow-up to 2010’s The Winter of Mixed Drinks (out on Mon 4 Feb on Atlantic Records, see a review in the next issue), the Selkirk quintet’s fourth album should build on the more mature sound they’ve found since debut Sing The Greys, with a flurry of heartfelt and ruminating tracks. To their fans (and they are nothing if not devoted) Frightened Rabbit not only contribute to the modern epic-folk movement inhabited by Fleet Foxes and more recently, Mumford & Sons, but blow it out the water in a smoky haze of snarling and brooding confidence. ■ Picturehouse, Edinburgh, Tue 26 Feb; Barrowlands, Glasgow, Thu 28 Feb.
