I found Frightened Rabbit a couple months ago. The last album was titled Painting of a Panic Attack, and I could feel the pain within it on the first listen. The first track, Death Dream, opens:
It was dawn and the kitchen light was still on
I stepped in, found the suicide asleep on the floor
An open mouth screams and makes no sound
Apart from the ring of the tinnitus of silence
You had your ear to the ground
White noise
I don't know if there's breathing or not
Butterflied arms tell me that this one has flown
Blood seems black against the skin of your porcelain back
A still life is the last I will see of you
A painting of a panic attack
He died in his sleep last night…
The lead vocalist and guitarist, Scott Hutchison, died last year at the age of 36. He was reported missing and his body was found the next day. Before he left he Tweeted, "Be so good to everyone you love. It's not a given. I'm so annoyed that it's not. I didn't live by that standard and it kills me. Please, hug your loved ones."
