Frightened Rabbit Share Biffy Clyro and Julien Baker Covers Of The Modern Leper from 'Tiny Changes'

Frightened Rabbit have shared the first tracks from their upcoming record.

‘Tiny Changes’ is due for release on July 12 and will contain 17 covers of songs from the band's sophomore LP, ‘Midnight Organ Fight’, to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

The album, which shares its name with the mental health charity set up after the death of Frightened Rabbit’s lead singer Scott Hutchison, will feature contributions from a range of artists including the Twilight Sad, Craig Finn, Manchester Orchestra and more.

The first cuts come from Julien Baker and Biffy Clyro, who have both recorded renditions of opener The Modern Leper. Baker opts for a slower pace than the original, letting it build up into a triumphant climax, whereas Biffy Clyro’s Scottish accent doesn’t bring the vocals too far away from their Selkirk roots, but makes good use of dynamics with some heavily distorted guitar chords and a half-time chorus. Listen below.
