    I’ve been giving the latest Frightened Rabbit album a listen on my daily commute this week but it still hasn’t clicked.

    However, ‘High Violet’ by The National is the best thing I’ve heard in a while. Download ‘Afraid Of Everyone’ and ‘Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks’ – simply beautiful.

    I really dig Frightened Rabbit, with the vocals pretty much embodying the name of the band.

    I have the new National but haven’t given it a good listen yet. I’ve loved everything they have done and they seem to be getting better and better so I better get it in rotation.

We were never really demonic, I mean there was elements of that but we weren’t like the VU or something, I certainly wouldn’t make a pact with the devil… So the question is really, how much tape have we got left?”
