Frightened Rabbit are currently working on their fourth studio album, their first for Atlantic Records, although details are still under wraps.

Speaking about the new record and the tour frontman Scott Hutchinson said:

“ has taken a slightly more stripped back direction than the last album. It’s a little darker – we’ve been writing in the minor key a bit more, and the whole thing has been a far more collaborative effort, which has lead to interesting new elements appearing in the songs.

I think the great thing about this tour is the fact that we’ll be playing to a lot of people who have never been able to see the band before. We’ve never even visited some of these towns, and I can’t think of a better way to see your own country than to jump in a van and play some shows. It’s been something we’ve all been really keen to do for some time, and it’s exciting that it’s finally come together.”
