Frightened Rabbit - Head Rolls Off

 

After their poignant festive single, It's Christmas So We'll Stop (check out the a cappella version for extra throat lumpiness), Head Rolls Off feels like a bold new year's resolution made hymnal. In a colloquial, folk-rock fashion of course. "When my head rolls off, someone else's will turn," muses singer Scott Hutchison. Seems he wants his life to make a difference, in the manner of Jesus himself, though perhaps without all the pesky religious trappings. It's been barely six months since their debut album and already Frightened Rabbit are releasing quality new singles like this. Heads will be turning indeed. [Darren Carle]
