FRIGHTENED RABBIT INTERVIEW ON AUDIO SCRIBBLER

Audio Scribbler have just posted a great interview with Scott from Frightened Rabbit.

"As the album moves from heart wrenching to jubilant and back again, everyman singer Scott Hutchinson guides us through what feel like some very personal trials. Personal because the lyrics are intensely honest, and personal because you yourself have been there too. On the last night of the Frightened Rabbits tour Sarah Soliman caught up with Hutchinson before their show at Brooklyn's Southpaw."
