Having now heard the first single, Frightened Rabbit cements itself on our short list of most anticipated albums of 2013. The new song, Dead Now – highlighted here with an accompanying video pieced together from tour footage – puts the band back right back where they left off on the Winter of Mixed Drinks. Whereas the recent EP State Hospital seemed a little spindly and underdeveloped, the forthcoming LP, Pedestrian Verse (February 2013) looks to be a more textural affair in the building anthem format that defines the Frightened Rabbit sound. After working with Peter Katis on the previous two full-lengths, Frightened Rabbit teamed up with Leo Abrahams for this project, a London Academy of Music alum who’s best known for his work with Brian Eno, David Byrne, and Jon Hopkins and playing lead guitar for Imogen Heap. Abrahams is a sonic guru and actually co-wrote Strange Overtones on Byrne and Eno’s Everything that Happens Will Happen Today, so the odds are fully in favor of this being a memorable one.
