Frightened Rabbit intend to issue a re-recorded version of their The Midnight Organ Fight album on its tenth anniversary.
“To celebrate the 10 year anniversary/birthday of The Midnight Organ Fight we wanted to avoid the usual approach of just repressing the vinyl, or rereleasing the same record with different artwork or putting out demos that were never meant to be heard by anyone other than the band and maybe our parents,” the band explain.
“We came up with the idea of asking some pals to record their own interpretations of the songs on the album. It felt like a good way to celebrate everyone who had been a part of the last ten years of the band and we didn’t have to do any work ourselves!”
“Every single person on Tiny Changes has been a part of our lives and Frightened Rabbit in a special way over the last ten years. We’ve shared studios, vans, bars, dressing rooms and probably even underwear with some of these people and that’s why this record is so special to us.”
The band go on to reveal that Scott Hutchison had been a part of the early prep for what is being called Tiny Changes. “Scott was a vital part of bringing this album together and it’s something he was very excited about and worked hard to bring to life,” they continue. “He listened to and approved every track on there with us and he had already started preparing the artwork which you’ll see on there.”
