LHB’s Shorties (Frightened Rabbit, LCD Soundsystem, and More)

Drowned in Sound interviews Frightened Rabbit's Scott Hutchison.

DiS: Your new album, The Winter Of Mixed Drinks, is due out in March of next year. Where did the record's title come from?

SH: It's from a line in one of the songs, 'Living In Colour' - same as Midnight Organ Fight actually, which came from a line in 'Fast Blood'. I guess we like doing that. I looked through all the lyrics and couldn't find one decent enough to use, and then that one was hiding away near the end of the record. I think the "Midnight Organ Fight" was a phrase all of our own, and with this album I wanted to create another one that we could claim as our own as well. I'd never heard that sentence before and I just wanted to call our album something we could immediately identify with.
