Frightened Rabbit have posted more details of their upcoming 'State Hospital' EP.

Secluding themselves away in the countryside, Frightened Rabbit have been busy stockpiling new material. Close to completing work on their new album, the band found that some tracks just didn't quick fit into their plans.

Hence a new EP. 'State Hospital' will be released on September 24th, and contains material which - despite emerging from the same recording sessions - simply doesn't quite sit in line with their upcoming album.

Scott Hutchison explains: “With the exception of ‘State Hospital’, this is a collection of songs that for one reason or another did not fit on the full-length record, either thematically or tonally. They’re still four of our favourites, and they definitely represent the directions we’ve been pushing ourselves into with new material. We were inspired by fairly dissonant artists during the writing and recording of these songs, from Beak> to The Shins via Max Richter and Caribou. I think we’ve definitely darkened our corners a little with this EP.”

The title cut has now emerged online. Typically beautiful songwriting from the Scottish group, 'State Hospital' comes equipped with a challenging, intense clip.
