"Forming in 2003, Frightened Rabbit established their reputation with ramshackle anthems of heartbreak and hangovers that presented frontman Scott Hutchison as self-loathing, self-destructive, but ultimately sympathetic. By 2010, success and expanding ambition started to strain against their underdog appeal. That tension was projected onto the anxious, thickly overdubbed The Winter of Mixed Drinks. Pedestrian Verse arrived three years later, an album that isn’t widely considered their best, but it's definitive in its own way. It's the one that said “this is who we are going forward”: a major-label band that plays 2000-3000 cap rooms. Shortly thereafter, Hutchison moved to Los Angeles with his girlfriend. Sub in High Violet and Trouble Will Find Me for their respective years, and this is basically the same exact career trajectory as the National, so it’s only natural that the two bands go from sharing tour bills and a producer (Peter Katis) to sharing a studio—and so with Aaron Dessner behind the boards, Painting of a Panic Attack is more a sensible repositioning than a reinvention."
