Frightened Rabbit will be releasing a book of lyrics.
The Work is a book of lyrics and illustrations by the late Scott Hutchison, lyricist, vocalist and songwriter of Frightened Rabbit. This limited hardback edition presents the band’s complete lyrics (including B-sides and rarities) with handwritten excerpts by Scott, alongside his illustrations, many of which have never been seen before.
The book is meant both as a celebration of and tribute to Scott’s unbridled creativity. It aims to fulfil his wishes by being the book that he wanted to create and had spoken of creating before his death.
The Work’s creative concept comes from renowned album designer Dave Thomas, who worked with Frightened Rabbit across their career.
Frightened Rabbit will reissue The Winter of Mixed Drinks for it’s tenth anniversary. Pre-orders are now up.
Frightened Rabbit have released a documentary on the making of Tiny Changes – A Celebration of The Midnight Organ Fight.

Frightened Rabbit have released the audio of their Scott Hutchison tribute show on Soundcloud and for download on Dropbox. The band posted the audio along with this message:
This night was not a night of mourning or a night of sadness but a celebration of an extremely special person and the music he created. Scott inspired everyone who met him, heard his lyrics or saw his art. We feel his loss every day but we are all in this together and we carry on strengthened by the support of the people involved in this recording and those around the world who have been affected by Scott’s passing. A huge thank you goes out to Ben Gibbard, Craig Finn, Aaron Dessner, Julien Baker and Kevin Devine for their support, love and kindness in being involved. We want to encourage people who listen to this to laugh, cry, hug and sing in your worst Scottish accent at the top of your lungs and keep the spirit of Scott alive in all our hearts and all our voices. While we’re alive let’s all make tiny changes to Earth.
