There’s a chance to sample more of Frightened Rabbit‘s new album ‘Painting Of a Panic Attack‘ upon its release today (April 8th).
Album tracks ‘Woke Up Hurting’ and ‘Die Like a Rich Boy’ have been uploaded to YouTube (below) as the band also gears up for live dates in Manchester, Dunfermline and London next week.
“In many ways this is the struggle of a man coming to terms with both his life and its surroundings in amongst the anonymity of a soulless vessel,” Live4ever’s review reads.
“There are no happy endings in that world or any other of course, much less the one realised on ‘Painting Of a Panic Attack’s final chapter, ‘Die Like a Rich Boy‘. On it, the singer muses on the affectation of, “If we leave this world in a Rhinestone shroud,” whilst a soporific cello hums the valedictory.”
“Seemingly at one level about the famous being more celebrated in death than in life, it’s a coda which speaks both to the heightened vulnerability of those having their fifteen minutes and the absurdity of wanting, even after the end of existence, something more than others have.”
