NEW and SEALED
Frightened Rabbit’s ‘The Winter Of Mixed Drinks’
turns ten this year and in order to celebrate, FatCat
Records release an Anniversary edition of the LP.
Boasting Ice Blue vinyl, the Anniversary edition also
features a bonus 7” featuring two previously
unreleased live tracks, remixed and remastered for
this release.
‘The Winter Of Mixed Drinks’ was written over seven
weeks in the isolated but beautiful coastal town of
Crail in Fyfe, Scotland, following heavy touring in
support of the band’s second album ‘The Midnight
Organ Fight’. Drummer Grant Hutchison stated “the
location had a big impact on the songs. There’s
definitely a nautical theme to a lot of the tracks and
a feeling of testing yourself to the limit which the
sea plays a big part in.”
The album was primarily recorded at Castle Sound
Studios in Scotland, with additional recording and
production taking place at Tarquin Studios in
Connecticut, alongside their trusted producer Peter
Katis.
Upon release in March 2010, the album was greeted
with widespread critical acclaim, with Drowned in
Sound praising frontman Scott Hutchison,
describing his performance as having “the same
tremble in the voice, the same elegance in the guitar
tone, the same march of the Military Tattoo in the
rhythm - but a renewed purpose.”
The Fly also praised Scott, claiming him to be “one
of the most underrated voices in rock,” going
further stating, “what more could you possibly want
from Frightened Rabbit’s third album? They’re
hurling themselves fearlessly at the bright lights,
and coming back all the stronger for it.”
The Guardian praised the album’s “sharp”
songwriting, stating, “most of their songs - with
themes of escape, freedom and reinvention - have
huge impassioned choruses that are made to be
shouted from the nearest available mountain,”
whilst the NME maintained the album to be
“stunning” and further wrote “for every song of
heartache (‘Yes, I Would’) and self-loathing (‘The
Loneliness & The Scream’), there’s one of
redemption (‘FootShooter’) or hope (‘Swim Until You
Can’t See Land’). The album deviates from their
previous alt-folkish sensibilities: the fuzzed-up
shoegazing of ‘Things’ and the anthemic chorus of
‘Living In Colour’ herald an exciting new bullshit-
free dawn.”
This is an album that FatCat and all of those
involved in its creation are immensely proud of, as
relevant and striking today as it was upon first listen
back at the dawn of a new decade ten years ago.
