The Winter of Mixed Drinks

Frightened Rabbit

A tidal wave of Scottish indie rock. Massive, reverb-soaked anthems that turn the struggle of isolation into a shimmering, communal celebration of survival.

It's like a big, loud hug for your brain when you're feeling a bit lost at sea.

A triumphant, wide-screen exploration of isolation that finds beauty in the act of disappearing.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, communal 'woah-oh' chant that anchors the climax of The Loneliness and the Scream.
The way the guitars swell into a shimmering, oceanic wall of sound during the final minute of Swim Until You Can't See Land.
The sudden, percussive shift in Skip the Youth that transforms a quiet meditation into a sprawling six-minute epic.
