Single of the week -Frightened Rabbit - Swim Until You Can't See Land


This is the first single to be lifted from Frightened Rabbit 's hotly anticipated upcoming album expected next year which is as yet still untitled.
After such a huge success with 'Midnight Organ Fight,' an album that hit the hearts of many including myself as a full on 'break up' album with many honest tales of heartbreak and anger the bar will certainly have to be raised even higher for their next outing but as it happens the signs are already here that their next will be an absolute cracker.
'Swim Until You Can't See Land' is a little more cheery than the angst ridden predecessor but that certainly does not mean a dip in the quality of music, quite the opposite in fact, it's a proper anthem, the sort of song that you will want stuck in your head which as we have come to expect has a lot of meaning behind it. This is a tale that lead singer Scott Hutchinson describes as "about losing your mind in order to reset the mind and body."
Featuring a class string accompaniment, a catchy chorus and the lyrical witticisms that Frightened Rabbit are famed for, it was no doubt that this would make Middle Boop's single of the week.
