11. Frightened Rabbit – Winter Of Mixed Drinks (FatCat)

'Every time I listen to ‘The Winter of Mixed Drinks’ it does make me realise how close these guys are to having a record that will be adored by the masses in the same way Fleet Foxes were a few years ago, they seem to have that rare ability to write a fantastic song that bridges that neat little gap between something that will be loved equally by pop and alternative crowds alike.’ Gordon Reid
