Frightened Rabbit have announced a trio of UK tour dates in support of their brilliant upcoming new album, Painting Of A Panic Attack.
Following the announcement that F'Rabbit will be dropping their long-awaited fifth album on 8 April, the 'Poke' and 'Woodpile' Scottish alt-rock heroes will be hitting the road for some intimate shows in Manchester, Dunfermline and London.
The last time they played London was for a triumphant show at Brixton Academy, so you can't miss the chance to see them at the majestic St John Hackney Church.
Frigthened Rabbit's upcoming UK tour dates are as follows, with tickets on sale from 9am on Friday 26 February and available here.
Frightened Rabbit will play:
Tue April 12 2016 - MANCHESTER Academy 2
Wed April 13 2016 - DUNFERMLINE Alhambra
Thu April 14 2016 - LONDON St John At Hackney Church
Painting Of A Panic Attack will be the long-awaited follow-up to 2013's stellar Pedestrian Verse and frontman Scott Hutchison's triumphant solo debut as Owl John - and it's been produced by no less than The National's Aaron Dessner.
“Great songwriters touch a nerve," says Dessner, "and I think Scott really touches a nerve with these songs. To me, lyrically, this album is a step above anything he’s written before.”
The album is said to be largely concerned with Hutchison's time in Los Angeles, after he moved from Scotland to the States in 2014 to be with his girlfriend - quickly realising that the city just wasn’t for him. The record "sings of the loneliness the change instilled in him, of the disparity between the rich and the throngs of homeless in the city, and of his daily struggle with his new life and homesickness for Scotland."
Released on 8 April, the tracklist for Painting Of Panic Attack is as follows:
1. Death Dream
2. Get Out
3. I Wish I Was Sober
4. Woke Up Hurting
5. Little Drum
6. Still Want To Be Here
7. An Otherwise Disappointing Life
8. Break
9. Blood Under The Bridge
10. 400 Bones
11. Lump Street
12. Die Like A Rich Boy
