Frightened Rabbit

Just a little suggestion for anyone who has never heard them, Frightened Rabbit hails from Scottland, and they play some of my favorite pop rock of this decade. Last years album, The Midnight Organ Fight, is the tale of one mans (or ALL mens) frightening journey through adulthood and his eternal search for a decent woman. The singer Scott Hutchison explores the ideas of love, sex, drunkenness, god, and self-loathing in such a ruggedly poetic manner that, like any good book, it draws you in and takes you on a ride you won't soon forget. The band plays a dozen different styles on the album, from "The Twists" rolling piano keys and tamberine, and "Head Rolls Offs" layered rock sound and much darker organ drone, to "The Modern Lepers" marching band on crack feel.
I don't think I've ever been happier to hear about someones failed attempts at life, and I'm sure you'll feel the same way.
