dip the toe in the ocean...

a couple of months ago scotland's finest indie-emo-folk-pop magicians frightened rabbit gave us the first airing of an as-yet unreleased track via an Off The Beaten Tracks session...
awesome..
the lads have now given the track the full studio treatment and confirmed it as their new single...
as far as i can tell, the band are still locked away working on the new LP..
the only details i can find at this stage about the album are as follows:
1. it is to be called The Winter Of Mixed Drinks {textbook FR}
2. it is will be out "early-mid 2010" {too far away}
3. lead singer and songwriter scott hutchison reckons alot of the new songs are about "pushing yourself out to the edge of things and being alone, feeling lost and not knowing where you are" {fuck. yeah.} and also that the songs are turning out "a little less obviously personal and brutal" than those from the last two albums"...
interesting things!!!
watch this space...
