Frightened Rabbit manage to be both radio-friendly and interesting, often at the same time. Perhaps it’s the Scottish accents, which add intrigue to the blandest of lines, but The Modern Leper, an ode to, well you guessed it, tells me there’s more than meets the eye (or ear) here. Whatever it is, a great voice, catchy lyrics and a big sound don’t hurt. (Just ask Counting Crows, circa 1994).

This album is ultimately a little too steeped in melancholia, but the lead singer really has a great voice, and there are a number of great tracks. Highly recommended.
