Pitchfork

Few words in the English language are as fun to use as "Glaswegian," and fortunately for us Pitchfork newsies, Glasgow keeps producing sweet bands like Frightened Rabbit, so we get to use it fairly often.

That said, the Glaswegian trio will precede the previously reported reissue of their debut album, last year's Sing the Greys, with a previously mentioned 7" single consisting of two tracks from the record. The 7" features "Be Less Rude" on the A-side and "The Greys" on the flip, and it comes out in the UK via FatCat on November 5. FatCat will then reissue the full-length to UK residents on November 19.

The Glaswegians will meet San Franciscans, Oregonians, Minneapolitans, and Baton Rouger-didgeridoos (sadly not the actual name for Baton Rouge residents) on their forthcoming U.S. fall tour, which kicks off in October. Beforehand, they have a trio of shows in their native country, beginning with a September 21 show in Glasgow.

In conclusion: Glaswegian.
