If you found yourself disappointed by this year's offering from Counting Crows then you should perhaps check out Frightened Rabbit.
The CC comparison is obvious in some circles and fightin' words in others. The important distinction is that Counting Crow's best stuff is waiting patiently for that inevitable '90's revival that's on the the horizon, and Frightened Rabbit is currently outputting the good stuff.
The Midnight Organ Fight is another article in the massive tome of morose men who try to make everyone else as morose as they are. So, if you like that sort of thing, jump in, and we'll consider my job complete.
Frightened Rabbit - Floating in the Fourth
Still not into it? Then let me mention that FR is from Glassgow, and while this is certainly not the only Scottish game in town, I think you'll find Scott Hutchison's accent pleasant, and even though his voice frequently cracks and is full of emotion, it is not at all overbearing.
