Atlantic is a renowned US record label that was founded in 1947 by Ahmet Ertegun, Herb Abramson, and Miriam Abramson. Over the years, it has grown into one of the leading companies in the music industry, known for its commitment to artistry and quality. In 1967, Atlantic was purchased by Warner Bros. film studio and operated alongside ATCO Records as separate entities. The label continued to expand its influence when it acquired Elektra in 1970, forming the Warner-Elektra-Atlantic alliance.
Today, Atlantic remains a part of the Warner Music Group and forms the Atlantic Music Group along with Elektra, Rhino Records (2), Lava, and EastWest Records America. The label's iconic Saul Bass designed W logo was introduced in 1975. With a rich history spanning decades and an impressive roster of artists, Atlantic continues to be a powerhouse in the music industry.
Please note that some releases may have different catalog numbers or codes on their sleeves or labels which are not part of the official catalog number. Additionally, early releases had yellow labels until January 1956 when they switched to red labels. French singles and EPs also have distinct catalog number patterns based on genre.

Scottish indie rock band Frightened Rabbit was founded in 2003 in Selkirk and later based in Glasgow. The band sadly disbanded in 2018 following the tragic death of lead vocalist Scott Hutchison. 

The current line-up consisted of Grant Hutchison on drums and percussion, Billy Kennedy on bass guitar, guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals, Andy Monaghan on guitar, keyboards, and bass guitar, and Simon Liddell on guitar. Guitarist Gordon Skene joined as a touring member in 2013 before becoming an official member in 2015.

Frightened Rabbit's music showcased their unique blend of indie rock with emotionally charged lyrics. Despite their disbandment, their legacy continues to resonate with fans worldwide.

Selkirk's finest Frightened Rabbit release heir eagerly awaited fifth studio album, Painting Of A Panic Attack via Atlantic Records. Their second major label release sees a slight reshuffle in band members and the addition of The National's Aaron Dessner on production duties. Electronic elements and frontman Scott Hutchison's dark and emotionally honest lyrics are expertly woven into the band's soaring sonic palate, resulting in a body of work that will challenge, excite and surprise longtime fans and new listeners alike. Following the departure of member Gordon Skene in March 2014, the remaining four members of the band - Hutchison, his brother Grant (drums), Billy Kennedy (bass) and Andy Monaghan (guitar and keyboards) - retreated to a studio in Wales to lay the foundations of the new record.

Painting Of A Panic Attack is much indebted lyrically to Los Angeles, following Scott's move from Scotland to the States in 2014 to be with his girlfriend. He quickly realised that the city just wasn't for him. Taking inspiration from what he saw, Painting is often a love / hate letter to LA. Hutchison sings of the loneliness the change instilled in him, of the disparity between the rich and the throngs of homeless in the city, and of his daily struggle with his new life and homesickness for Scotland. During the making of the record Hutchison began to draw similarities between the record and the concept of monuments and memorials, which is reflected in the artwork - a peaceful place, a place of beauty where people go to remember and reflect on chaotic, turbulent and troubling times.

The lyrics are the subject of this reflection, brutality next to beauty. Hutchison's feeling of detachment also represents a major theme throughout the record. Tracks such as 'Get Out', the lead single which chronicles an addictive and obsessive love, and 'Still Want To Be Here', telling of his constant struggle with LA, perfectly encapsulate the mind-set of the Frightened Rabbit front-man since the band's last release. The opening track from the record, 'Death Dream', an uplifting yet emotionally wrought track featuring frontman Scott Hutchison's visceral lyrics, striking a bold sonic shift for the band.
