Frightened Rabbit – Painting Of A Panic Attack

Painting of a Panic Attack is the fifth studio album by Frightened Rabbit, released through Atlantic Records. Produced by Aaron Dessner of The National, the album expands the band’s emotionally charged indie rock sound with subtle electronic textures, cinematic arrangements, and deeply introspective songwriting.

Written after frontman Scott Hutchison relocated from Scotland to Los Angeles, the record explores themes of isolation, homesickness, emotional detachment, and the unsettling contrasts of life in LA. Often described as a love-and-hate letter to the city, the album balances lyrical brutality with moments of beauty and reflection, creating one of the band’s most atmospheric and emotionally resonant works. Tracks like “Get Out,” “Still Want to Be Here,” and “Death Dream” showcase the band’s evolution while preserving the raw honesty that defined their earlier releases.
