What we say
 This record left our Brett feeling happy.
I had a rabbit once that hung itself.. True story! Scarred me for life, that did. Since then I've been perennially terrified of leaving pets anywhere near prescription medication or shotguns.. I ask you, how can there be a god when he creates people who drive cute animals to suicide? Richard Dawkins actually mentioned this in one of his books after I wrote to him seeking answers, in the bloopers for one of his TV shows he asked a priest about it and the footage from then on was just a blur of tears and fists.. They laughed about it later though! Gotta laugh, haven't you? Frightened Rabbit may or may not be the reincarnation of my ex-bunny but they've got a single out in any case - 'I Feel Better' they've called it. Hey! This is a message to me from beyond the grave isn't it? Everything's OK, Flopsy's fine and he forgives me! Fuck you Dawkins, we're all going to heaven in an angel's chariot blaring out better-than-average US indie over it's Kenwood stereo!
What the label says:
Limited to 500 copies worldwide.
This double A-side single is the third to be taken from the critically acclaimed ‘Midnight Organ Fight’ album. ‘I Feel Better’ is two minutes 45 seconds of frenetic / pumping urgency, flowering into a thick, surging musical tide. Set in the aftermath of a love lost, its determinedly self-assuring, positive assertation (“this is the last song I write about you”) reveals itself in the telling as riddled with doubt. ‘The Twist’ revolves around a stabbing piano motif and gradually builds before a vibrant rhythmic injection of drums and an arpeggiating almost house-y piano pushing that track into a swirling euphoric excess of melodies and fluttering texture.
Always a riveting live force, the band have recently played dates such as T In The Park, The Big Chill, and Summer Sundae, as well as support slots with the likes of Sons & Daughters, Editors, We Are Scientists, and idlewild.
Recorded by Peter Katis (Interpol, Mercury Rev), with almost every track on the album feels like a hit-in-waiting, from start to finish ‘Midnight Organ Fight’ is undoubtedly the catchiest, most hook-filled album FatCat have ever released - able to make insight accrued from personal experience connect on an almost anthemic, universal level.
