Watch: Frightened Rabbit perform a stripped down version of 'State Hospital'
sean by Sean Adams September 3rd, 2012

An exclusive Frightened Rabbit live session track to start your week...

So that is DiS-favourites Frightened Rabbit (well, just Scott actually) doing an acoustic performance of the track ‘State Hospital’ from The State Hospital EP, which is out on 24th Sept.

The video was shot by Hand Held Cine Club, who also made the official video for 'State Hospital'.

Scott wrote a blog about the songs on the EP, and of this one he said:

"The title track is the first snippet from our next album, but the rest of the tracks are unique to this release, even though they were all contenders for the full-length at one point or another. I suppose certain songs just don’t fit in to an album, but we thought these four still deserved to be given more than simply ‘B-side’ status. Because we had been writing and demo-ing for this record for some time, we found ourselves sitting on a lot of songs at the beginning of the year. Too many really, if there is such a thing. You’ll be glad to hear that we didn’t even toy with the idea of a double album, probably because we weren’t taking any drugs. So this seemed like the best way to show off the extras and give you a taste of things to come..." read the rest of the post here
