No, this is not the new Frightened Rabbit album. Instead “Quietly Now!” is the live version of the band’s album “The Midnight Organ Fight”, recorded at the Captain’s Rest in Glasgow somewhere last year. It’s all centered around Scott Hutchison’s acoustic guitar and vocals with the rest of the band quietly jumping in with backing vocals, organ and the occasional mandolin.
No doubt this was a whole lot of fun live but it doesn’t translate too well to CD. Things get a little boring after a couple of tracks because when you strip it all down to a naked sounds like this, not a whole lot is left of the songs except for Hutchison’s vocals which well, get a little boring after a while.
Not a terrible album either but if you’re new to the band, you’re better off leaving this to the diehard fans and picking up the ‘regular’ version of “The Midnight Organ Fight” instead.
Score: 6 out of 10
