Recorded By Peter Katis Mercury Rev Interpol Over The Space Of Two Weeks And Mixed Over The Ensuing Fortnight ‘Midnight Organ Fight’ Was Conceived And Realised In A Much Shorter Time Span Than Its Predecessor With The Intention Of Creating A More Coherent ‘pop’ Sounding Album. Yet Although Musically More Immediate Vitally The Band Have Not Forsaken The Personality Or Passion Of Any Of Their Earlier Recordings. In July 2008 A Live Rendition Of ‘Midnight Organ Fight’ Was Recorded In Glasgow And Mixed By Mice Parade’s Adam Pierce Entitled 'Liver! Lung! Fr!' The Stripped-Down Instrumentation Brings Singer Scott Hutchison’s Vocal Delivery - Now Wrenching Now Soaring - To The Fore Showcasing The Emotive Lyrics And Memorable Melodies That Have Earned The Band Their Passionate Following. This Album Was Released In The United States In Late 2008 And A World Release Date To Followed In March 2009. The Band's Third Album "The Winter Of Mixed Drinks" Was Released In Early 2010.

Artwork The Artwork For The Album Is Also Done By Hutchison Who Noted That He Wanted To Make This Piece Of Work… I Know It’s Not Quite The Same But Essentially… A Way For People To See Your Work. Even Though It’s An Album Cover And It Doesn’t Get Treated The Same Way That Art Does. Some Of My Favorite Images Are Album Covers. Like The Factory Stuff. I Think It’s Something You Should Take Time Over. It Would Be Foolish Of Me To A Get Someone Else To Do It And B Not Try To Put Everything Of Me Into This."
Other Artist's Opinions Death Cab For Cutie Bassist Nicholas Harmer Cites That The Album Is His Favourite 2008 Release Stating "It's Lyrically Perfect With Words That Hit You Right In The Heart.

The Midnight Organ Fight Is The Second Studio Album By Scottish Indie Rock Band Frightened Rabbit Released April 15 2008 On Fat Cat Records. Vocalist/guitarist Scott Hutchison Describes The Album As Being "quite Relationshippy" And "a Lot More Intense" Than Its Predecessor Sing The Greys. Following The Album's Completion It Took A Month For Hutchison To Be Able To Listen To It. Lyrically Hutchison States That "most Of The Lyrics Are Pretty Direct" And That The Album "almost Spells Out What’s Happened." However Scott States That He Tries "to Leave The Door Open And The Metaphors Vague Enough So That People Can Get In There." Hutchinson Discussed The Album At Length In An Interview With The Pop Cop. The Album's Title Comes From A Line In The Song Fast Blood And Is Said To Be A "euphemism For Sex." Background And Recording To Record The Album The Band Stayed With Producer Peter Katis For A Month In Connecticut. Hutchison Noted That The Benefit Of Recording In Bridgeport Connecticut Is There Is Nothing Else To Do But Record. You’re Focused 14 Hours A Day On Just Recording. From That Standpoint It’s Highly Beneficial. I Don’t Want To Go Somewhere Like New York And Be Like ‘oh There’s A Bar Across The Street. Let’s Just Go There Just For Lunch.’ And Then You Get Back Hammered. No It Was Perfect."Artwork The Artwork For The Album Is Also Done By Hutchison Who Noted That He Wanted To Make This Piece Of Work… I Know It’s Not Quite The Same But Essentially… A Way For People To See Your Work.
