Listen to a New Frightened Rabbit Song

Some of our favorite Scots might just be the busiest band ever. They’ve been touring in headlining sets, playing festivals, in-stores, late-night TV shows and keep on keepin’ on the road with a year-ending tour. Somehow, amidst all the chaos of the release of The Winter of Mixed Drinks and a seemingly endless roster of appearances, the Frightened Rabbit fellas have managed to record and release a new track to anyone who subscribes to their mailing list.

“As is often the case, death rears its head,” frontman Scott Hutchison said about the song on LBYB. “Most days, I think briefly about the way in which I may die, and what will be left behind aside from a collection of fat, muscle, bones and apparently a fair bit of carbon and water. Death is really what defines life – without it the whole endeavour would feel a bit mundane and pointless. Procrastination would be extended to years, even decades – what would be the point of doing anything if you knew you would live forever? So death is what keeps me going, even more so than effervescent tablets…”

The song, “Son C,” comes in a .zip file bundled with photos from the group’s days on the road. You can check it out below alongside Hutchison’s handwritten lyrics courtesy of TwentyFourBit:
