It is St. Andrew’s Day today – the day of Scotland’s Patron Saint, so I thought I’d post a track by a very fine Scottish band.

Or rather, I’d post two ever so slightly different versions of Frightened Rabbit’s ‘It’s Christmas So We’ll Stop.’

This has come out in both 2007 and 2008, so take your pick and see what you think…

Frightened Rabbit -‘It’s Christmas So We’ll Stop [2007 version].’ mp3

Frightened Rabbit -‘It’s Christmas So We’ll Stop [2008 version].’ mp3.

For a free track from their 2008 sophomore release, see here

Meanwhile, they released a fantastic new single two weeks ago, entitled ‘Swim Until You Can’t See Land.’ This is taken from their forthcoming third album, due out in 2010:

Check out the video here:

the new album is entitled The Winter Of Mixed Drinks and is released on fatcat on March 1.
