About this album

Fatcat Records (2008) Released: 13 Apr 2008 14 tracks (47:56)
The Midnight Organ Fight is the second studio album by band Frightened Rabbit, released April 15, , on Fat Cat Records. Vocalist/guitarist Scott Hutchison describes the album as being “quite relationshippy” and “a lot more intense” than its predecessor Sing The Greys. Following the album’s completion, it took a month for Hutchison to be able to listen to it.

Lyrically, Hutchison states that “most of the lyrics are pretty direct” and that the album “almost spells out what’s happened.” However, Scott states that he tries “to leave the door open and the metaphors vague enough, so that people can get in there.” Hutchinson discussed the album at length in an interview with The Pop Cop.

The album’s title comes from a line in the song Fast Blood, and is said to be a “euphemism for sex.”


Background and Recording

To record the album, the band stayed with producer Peter Katis for a month in Connecticut. Hutchison noted that:
The benefit of recording in Bridgeport, Connecticut is there is nothing else to do but record. You’re focused 14 hours a day on just recording. From that standpoint it’s highly beneficial. I don’t want to go somewhere like New York and be like ‘oh there’s a bar across the street. Let’s just go there, just for lunch.’ And then you get back hammered. No, it was perfect.”

    This album is pure genius from start to finish. Their other two albums are great too, but this one is just fantastic.

    This is my favorite album right now. It's the best indie album of 2008, in my opinion. Ugh, so good. Favorite songs: The Modern Leper, Poke, Floating in the Fourth, Fast Blood. Every track, really.

    Every time someone dismisses this as too mainstream, I lose respect for their musical knowledge. Tragic really. Anyway, how can a song with the lines "Or should we kick it's cunt in/And watch as it dies from bleeding" be mainstream?

    The only thing I don't like about this album is how long it took me to find it.

    September 2010

  • UncleDavenage

    Listening to this for the first time and thinking it was pretty good, then was hit by Head Rolls Off / My Backwards Walk / Keep Yourself Warm in a row which convinced me it was actually bloody brilliant.
