The Winter Of Mixed Drink by Frightened Rabbit | Album Review
RECENTLY with band such as Mumford & Sons, Fleet Foxes and here Frightened Rabbit we are blessed to have a great country brimming with talent. More so, Scotland. Glasgow is the home of these boys that bring a stew of wondrous sounds of big, cylindrical drums, piano’s and great harmonies of an orchestral, uplifting feel with the soothing, rawness of the Strathclyde dialect.
Shrouded in warmth, salubrious with a sense of personal completion are received in the songs. Caressed with the “everything-is-going-to-be-alright” feeling is greeted by myself quite fondly. The stresses in and of life are temporarily forgotten or at least, dusted under the rug for now.
Essences of Elbow and Biffy Clyro are sweetly knitted to bring an emotional semblance that will make grown Men become children and Ladies weep with joy.
I find it quite gratifying being of Scottish descent that this is music which I feel is traditional to me. I feel I have to like it and fortunately, I certainly do. I even want to drink, be merry and relish in the sympathetic outcry. Skip The Youth for example has this haunting ambience on the intro followed with vocals wishing you to join in and rejoice.
The Winter Of Mixed Drinks is more than welcome no matter the level of sobriety.
