Frightened Rabbit have come from nowhere to be one of the most respected indie bands around at the moment. When this album was first released, it barely seemed to register - it gathered a large amount of critical praise, both at the time and on various end-of-year lists, but hardly anyone seemed to have actually heard it. Gradually, and especially since the release of their newest record, people seem to have been re-investigating their back catalogue and realising that it is a real classic of the new millennium. This is my favourite song on the record - it wasn't released as a single, but it really should have been, with the kind of driving rhythms and emotive-but-not-overdone lyrics that are perfect for dragging in the casual listener and converting them to the band.
