March 21, 2016 • Leave a Comment

Canvasback Music/Atlantic recording group Frightened Rabbit will be performing the U.S. television debut of their lead single “Get Out” on CBS’ “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on March 28th (check local listings). “Get Out” comes off the Scottish rock band’s eagerly awaited fifth studio album, “PAINTING OF A PANIC ATTACK.” Produced by Aaron Dessner of The National, the record is set to arrive on April 8th.

Dessner – a longtime fan of Frightened Rabbit - had this to say about the record and frontman Scott Hutchison: “Great songwriters touch a nerve, and I think Scott really touches a nerve with these songs. To me, lyrically, this album is a step above anything he’s written before.”

The high profile, nationally televised appearance is followed by an exclusive, live concert at Rough Trade NYC in Brooklyn, NY on March 29th. Fans who pre-order “PAINTING OF A PANIC ATTACK” at Rough Trade NYC receive a wristband for the special in-store performance and signing. For more information, please visit the Rough Trade NYC website at www.roughtradenyc.com. “PAINTING OF A PANIC ATTACK” is also available for pre-order now at all digital retailers (see links below). All pre-orders include immediate downloads of the album opener “Death Dream,” “Get Out,” and recently unveiled album track “Lump Street” (https://youtu.be/1V4iSG8S14Y).

“Get Out” is already garnering generous support from tastemaker stations across the country as the #2 most added song at Triple A radio with 22 stations on board. The song’s emotionally provocative, companion video recently made its premiere on NPR’s All Songs Considered and received a raft of praise from influential blogs, including Pitchfork, Stereogum, and Consequence of Sound among others. The video – beautifully shot in Kiev, the capital city of Ukraine –can be viewed at the band’s official YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/frightenedrabbit).

To support the release of “PAINTING OF A PANIC ATTACK,” Frightened Rabbit will embark on their first stateside tour in nearly three years, kicking off on April 21st at the Wonder Ballroom in Portland, OR. Highlights include stops at New York City’s Terminal 5 on May 5th and Los Angeles’ Fonda Theatre on May 24th as well as a performance at Atlanta’s Shaky Knees Music Festival on May 15th and Sasquatch! on May 29th (full itinerary below).

“PAINTING OF A PANIC ATTACK” follows Frightened Rabbit’s 2013 major label debut “PEDESTRIAN VERSE” which saw the band land their highest ever charting, hitting the Top 10 in the UK. The band also received critical acclaim from a wide spectrum of American press, with praise coming from mainstream outlets like Rolling Stone and Time as well tastemaker blogs like Pitchfork and Stereogum. The band’s emotionally charged live shows have earned a devoted fanbase, which includes bands like Death Cab For Cutie and The National – both of whom have handpicked Frightened Rabbit to support them on extensive tours. National television appearances include performances on NBC’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” TBS’ “Conan,” and CBS’ “The Late Show with David Letterman.”
