Frightened Rabbit have announced that their new album, titled Pedestrian Verse, will be released on 4 February 2013.
Pedestrian Verse will be the band's first studio album since 2010's Winter Of Mixed Drinks, and will be released through new label Atlantic following sessions at Monnow Valley Studio in Rockfield, South Wales.
They previously released an EP, State Hospital, earlier this year.
Talking about Pedestrian Verse, singer Scott Hutchinson said, as quoted by Clash Music, "The title is taken from a lyric in State Hospital. I felt it was a nicely faceted title, with enough layered meaning to remain open to interpretation.
"Above all though, it was a gauntlet I threw down for myself. If you call your album Pedestrian Verse, you can't settle for any old lyric. It forced me to better myself."

He added, "In fact, I think we all stepped up on this album and I believe that our producer Leo Abrahams had a major role in that step. He threw our music into areas we had not previously imagined.
"More than any other record we've done this has been a genuine journey of discovery into new ways of working in order to develop and fully realise each of the songs. As a result, I think Pedestrian Verse the strongest and most interesting record we've made to date."
