Frightened Rabbit return with new single and dates

Frightened Rabbit return with a brand new single 'Swim Until You Can't See Land' released through FatCat on 16th November, a primer for the band's forthcoming and as yet untitled abum, expected in Spring 2010.

Boasting a stunning string arrangment from labelmate, Teutonic ivory-botherer, Hauschka 'Swim Until You Can't See Land' takes up where we left off, a hugely anthemic song that is perfect as a first indiacator of the new album's direction, it's very upbeatness perhaps to be read as a subconscious riposte to the angst of the preceeding, 'Midnight Organ Fight' album.

Just returned from US dates with labelmates The Twilight Sad, Frightened Rabbit are a hive of activity even ahead of their UK tour, playing the first Scottish Royal Variety Show this Thursday (8th October) and a special In The City show (headling Drowned In Sound's 9th birthday party) on 19th October.

The band have also just been confirmed to play support to Biffy Clyro at Q Magazine's Awards Show on 20th October at The Forum, and play for the Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival on the 21st at the Edinburgh HMV Picturehouse, before hitting the road in the UK during November as follows:
