Rec. #497: Oil Slick



What: Frightened Rabbit's "Oil Slick" effectively showcases the band's distinctive Scottish growl. (The sort of growl that, when spoken to a crowd at a music festival several years ago, made me lift my head up [from where I wasn't paying attention at all] and go, "Oooh.")

Also: those lyrics, dude.

Representative lyrics:
There is light but there’s a tunnel to crawl through
There is love but its misery loves you
We’ve still got hope so I think we’ll be fine
In these disastrous times, disastrous times.

How to get it: "Oil Slick" is off the 2013 album Pedestrian Verse. It wasn't released as a single and doesn't have its own video --- go ahead and get the song wherever you usually get your music.
