2013 SXSW Showcasing Artist Frightened Rabbit
Frightened Rabbit’s sound is a thrilling musical rollercoaster. The band’s newest album, Pedestrian Verse, follows a natural pace in terms of both tempo and structure. The music is moving and engaging, dominated by the eclectic keyboard sounds throughout. The lyrics are sad at times, but very relatable. The introspective style and personal nature of these songs invites listeners to be a part of the music.
Listen to Frightened Rabbit and more SXSW Showcasing Artists on SXSWfm.
