Nov 27, 2012If these songs are any indication, things will stay as gloriously sad as ever, but gain some sonic strength and polish.
-
Sep 25, 2012These 20 minutes are of a higher quality than many, many bands manage in a whole career.
-
Sep 28, 2012The production sounds more expensive, but all the passion and intimacy of their previous work remains.
-
Oct 2, 2012This is an album's cutting room floor yet each song still retains Hutchison's instantly recognisable Scottish drawl, infectious hooks and intelligent lyrics.
-
Dec 7, 2012If State Hospital is an indication of things to come, then Frightened Rabbit should have 2013's unremittingly bleak indie rock scene sewn up.
-
Oct 15, 2012Like last year's A Frightened Rabbit EP, State Hospital lacks some coherency in style, but its brevity makes this less of a problem.
-
Sep 27, 2012While State Hospital lacks for pure visceral pleasure, Hutchison can still convey such a deep, muscular ache in his vocals, indicating that Frightened Rabbit still know their strengths.
