“leave the rest at arms length. keep your naked flesh underneath your favorite dress.”

i’ve recently fallen in love with frightened rabbit. they’re scottish and very charming, terrible band name aside. think a slower, more melancholic idlewild with brutally honest lyrics. if you have an extra 10 bucks, their second album “the midnight organ fight” is simply gorgeous. each track has this strange sense of momentum that builds into something unexpected. standout tracks include the opener “modern leper,” “backwards walk,” and “good arms vs. bad arms,” which you can find below and was apparently featured on an episode of grey’s anatomy. so there’s that.

i decided this decision some six months ago
so i’ll stick to my guns but from now on it’s war
i am armed with the past, and a will, and a brick
i might not want you back, but i want to kill him
