Volume 4 - The Animal I Am

Description

Rabbit Rabbit Radio is the song-spinning duo of Carla Kihlstedt and Matthias Bossi. Collectively, they are founding members of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Tin Hat, 2 Foot Yard, Causing a Tiger, The Book of Knots, and Fred Frith's Cosa Brava. Drawing on their love of both art & folk song, industrial & improvised music and heart-wrenching balladry, their songs are raw, beautiful, sparse and rich. Originally these songs came out on the duo's bandcamp page. Subscribers got new songs as soon as they were finished, later these were collected into album format. Rabbit Rabbit Radio Vol. 1 was released on CD in 2013 by the band themselves. Klanggalerie released volumes 2 and 3 in 2018 and are now happy to offer you Volume 4 - The Animal I Am. The group's songs are a missing link between rock/pop and the avantgarde. Carla Kihlstedt says: "The songs I write sit on the border between popular music and art song. Where exactly, depends on the subject matter and on the language and strengths of the performers I'm working with. I've never worried that 'one kind' of audience won't understand the 'other kind' of song. Every listener has their own musical reference points, but I've always found people across the (hypothetical) divide to be incredibly open-minded and generous."
