Frightened Rabbit - Painting of a Panic Attack (2016) Album • Page 15

Frank Turner's instagram post suggests it's definitely him that has been found.

 

This is fucking with my head. More than their music though, i loved Scott as a presence in music — as someone who seemed, like John Darnielle or Aaron Weiss, able to take the ugliest parts of life and making them transcendent and celebratory in how universal those experiences were. To watch the band live was as powerful as listening to them in my car alone when I needed to stop the bleeding, which was as powerful as drunkenly shouting along to their songs with friends. The past decade of my life would be really different without the sound of his voice.

 

This is absolutely devastating. When I found out about Jon Bunch it was shocking because I had no idea he was even struggling and he had been such a kind, compassionate human being in person. Reminds me very much of Scott. Someone else already posted the closing lyrics to “Oil Slick” and I cannot put into words what that song, and that particular refrain, meant to me at the time of its release. Over the last couple weeks I’ve been jamming out to the Mastersystem album thinking how grateful I am for his presence in every project he has his hands in. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Watching this unfold as a fan has been heartbreaking. I cannot imagine how his loved ones are feeling right now.

 

Goddamn.

 

Pretty much this:

 

I'm just heartbroken. I don't even know what to say. This one is hurting. I can't even imagine how his family feels.

 

man this is the first time i have been deeply affected by a loss like this. this hurts a lot

 

Listening to some of my favorites today. Every song feels like a punch to the gut.

"And the water is taller than me
And the land is a marker line
All I have is a body adrift in water, salt and sky."

Swim until you can't see land, Scott.

 

Fuck...this is horrible

 

"While I'm alive, I'll make tiny changes to Earth"

He did much more than that, and his music has helped me and so many others. Thank you for everything Scott.

 

Fuck... I saw the thread had a lot of notifications and was hoping for better news. Hope everyone stays well today.

 

There is light but there’s a tunnel to crawl through
there is love but its misery loves you
there’s still hope so I think we’ll be fine in these disastrous times

Look after yourself everyone, there is always someone to talk to

 

This hurts. Please take care of yourselves everyone.

 

This band was huge for me in early adulthood... This is so, so awful. Can't imagine how his brother feels :(

 

This is horrible, mental health is nothing to mess around with

 

i feel so sick about this. i know this has been triggering for me, please take care of yourselves everybody. i really don't even know what else to say.

 

I can’t even comprehend this situation and won’t be able to for a while

 

To add to the human side of Scott: He dated a woman from our area a few years ago. My friend met him at a wedding. He had no clue who Frightened Rabbit was and said Scott made no mention of it. But he said that one of the things he noticed was even talking to strangers, Scott seemed legitimately interested and engaged in conversations about what they do and the things they like. He said he’s rarely ever met a person so friendly and warm like that straight out of the gate.

Man, what a loss.

 

Body confirmed as missing singer

Confirmation.

 

torn apart by this. band was so important.

 

My heart is so very heavy right now. Wishing the best for his family and friends and hoping he rests in peace.

It's never too late to reach out to someone, anyone. We find low places and they find us and we all need each other to get out of them from time-to-time. I hate that it came to this for him.

 

Damn. :( My sympathy for everyone affected.

I’m just listening to him for the first time. Beautiful voice.

 

Leaving work right now. Take care of yourselves.

My Backwards Walk just broke me. Forever one of my favorite songs.

 

Heartbreaking. Saw them in September. Midnight Organ Fight is one of the best indie rock records of the aughts. A must listen for anyone that cares about that era.
