We can dance around it all we want, but Frightened Rabbit singer Scott Hutchison sounds a whole shitload like a Scottish version of Adam Duritz from Counting Crows. And you know, that's ok, because it's a great, emotive voice in either case - only with Rabbit the songs being sung are actually fantastic and enjoyable. This tour-only EP of three songs is short and sweet, but as good as anything else they've put out. In fact, the second song on this, "Fuck This Place", a duet with Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura, is probably the best song they've ever written. And I'm only slightly flavoring that sentiment based on my love of Camera Obscura. The songs are already on the internet obviously, and I'm sure the tangible version will go for sale to the general public eventually. Well worth seeking out.
