As part of the celebration of the 10th anniversary of Frightened Rabbit\u2019s classic <em>The Midnight Organ Fight<\/em>, the band was working with artists they admire to produce an album of covers of all the <em>Organ<\/em> tracks. That project was nearly done before Scott Hutchison\u2019s death but was set aside in the wake of his suicide. The surviving members put the final touches on the disk over the spring and released it two weeks ago. It\u2019s been a weird listen for me. <em>Organ<\/em> is one of my four or five favorite albums ever, and hearing the entire thing covered, in order, with multiple versions of a few songs, is a little tough to get my head around.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really a fine collection of performers: Craig Finn, Benjamin Gibbard, The Twilight Sad, Julien Baker, and Aaron Dessner of the National and Lauren Mayberry of CHVRCHES collaborating are the most notable names. I like some of the songs. Others I don\u2019t particularly care for. I think it is because the lyrics were so personal to Scott that it is hard to hear others sing them.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, this is my favorite by a band I\u2019ve enjoyed but never dove into enough.
