Painting Of A Panic Attack was produced by Aaron Dessner of the National. Dessner – a longtime fan of Frightened Rabbit - had this to say about the record and frontman Scott Hutchison: “Great songwriters touch a nerve, and I think Scott really touches a nerve with these songs. To me, lyrically, this album is a step above anything he’s written before.” Painting Of A Panic Attack was recorded at Dessner’s Brooklyn studio - where the National also recorded their own High Violet and Trouble Will Find Me - and at Dreamland Studio in Woodstock, NY in the summer of 2015.
