Frightened Rabbit to release tenth anniversary edition of The Winter Of Mixed Drinks
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 10 November 2020
Frightened Rabbit have announced that they will re-issue their 2010 album ‘The Winter Of Mixed Drinks’ next month, marking its tenth anniversary. It also comes two and a half years after the death of frontman Scott Hutchison.
“‘The Winter of Mixed Drinks’, now ten years old, is a cocktail of emotions for us”, say the band on Twitter, announcing the reissue and an accompanying seven inch featuring two live tracks. “Perhaps through it we will all find a little lightness to help us through one of the darkest winters”.
“Earlier in the year we decided to acknowledge the life of this album with the release of a few live tracks”, they continue. “We pulled open the archives and decided on a seven-inch with a track from each side of the Atlantic from different moments of the band. ‘The Wrestle’, recorded at the Grog Shop, Cleveland in May 2010, is from a time when we were still finding our feet with the songs and learning how they were going to play out live”.
“On the other side is ‘Things’, recorded at The Roundhouse, London 2016”, they go on. “We chose this to reflect the time we are all in now and the importance of people over stuff. Scott’s words always burrowed deep within people and this was the song he was probably most proud of writing and loved to play live”.
The reissue of ‘The Winter Of Mixed Drinks’ will be released on 11 Dec.
