The Midnight Organ Fight, Frightened Rabbit's second album, came out on Fat Cat on 14 April 2008, after the Glasgow band signed to the label in 2007. They cut it through 2007, splitting the sessions between Bridgeport, Connecticut and Glasgow, with Peter Katis producing and Andy Monaghan joining on guitar and keys as the record took shape.
It's a breakup album of the rawest kind. Scott Hutchison called it far more intense than Sing the Greys, and once it was finished he needed about a month before he could bear to hear it. You can tell why: his voice cracks and roars over guitars that swell from hushed strum to full-throated din, with his brother Grant pounding the drums and Billy Kennedy on guitar and bass. Critics fell for the honesty and the passion, and it has kept turning up on year-end and decade-end lists ever since.
