I went to the launch night at Mono which was packed and absolutely brilliant.

The new album is genius, slightly more polished and rounded than 'Sing the Greys', but it's lost none of the charm. Musically it's more varied, and lyrically it's even better. I think 'Poke' is probably my favourite, but honestly there isn't a bad track on it.

Easily my favourite album of 2008 thus far.

And here is a couple of reviews:

"Utterly beautiful.” - 8/10 NME

“Glasgow’s best kept secret.” - The Fly

“This is a rallying cry, a rejection of the stylish and self-serious, and a redemption of the trite through the embrace of it’s universality” - Pitchfork

“The authentically upset, undoubtedly Caledonian singing voice, plus underlying folk architechture confirm the impression of a band apart.” - Mojo

“Sing The Greys suggests that Frightened Rabbit may soon be hailed as one of Britain’s better new bands” - Q

“Their follow-up next Spring should confirm them as one of 2008’s most talked-about bands” - Scotland On Sunday

I can't stop listening to it either, Twist and My Backwards Walk being the favourites, I think im going to head down to Arbroath in May to see them. Its a toss up between that and Cuty Copy's new album for album of the year so far.
