The Midnight Organ Fight [10th Anniversary Edition]

Signaling a return to simplicity in U.K. indie rock, Frightened Rabbit matured immeasurably between their first releases and 2008's THE MIDNIGHT ORGAN FIGHT, their second record for Fat Cat Records. With Peter Katis--who lent his Midas touch to Interpol and the National--at the production helm, THE MIDNIGHT ORGAN is a fresh guitar opus with lean and mean arrangements that highlight the primary strength of the Hutchinson brothers' songwriting: a gripping emotional directness that never verges on self-indulgence.
