State Hospital

Frightened Rabbit

Five tracks of rain-slicked Scottish indie rock. Massive, percussive crescendos meet intimate stories of mental health, holiday isolation, and hard-won resilience.

It's like a warm wool sweater for your saddest, coldest days.

A resilient, rain-soaked hope that emerges from deep winter melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive drum entry on the title track that transforms a bleak character study into a defiant anthem.
The fragile, almost whispered vocal delivery during the opening of Boxing Night before the guitars swell.
The haunting guest vocal from Aidan Moffat on Wedding Gloves that adds a layer of weary, lived-in grit.
