Rabbit Season are a new band to me and here's their new album called 'Slow Math'. We have a handful of upfront copies which are hand numbered and screen printed. So be quick if you want one. Musically it's a bunch of lo fi electro/electronics which I can see appealing to you who've got into the 'Italians Do It Better' gear. The press release says more about this than I ever could so have a read as it's pretty spot on. Well 80's!**ULTRA LTD UPFRONT COPIES HAND SCREENED ARTWORK** PART BEDROOM ELECTRONICS, PART ART-POP EXPERIMENTATION, RABBIT SEASON IS COMPRISED OF THREE GUYS FROM TORONTO. THEIR INSPIRATIONS LIE EQUALLY IN THE HUMAN/ELECTRONIC EXPERIMENTATIONS FOUND IN POP, KRAUT AND DISCO MUSIC OF THE PAST, TO MANY OF IT'S MODERN DAY MUTATIONS. RABBIT SEASON STARTED AS THE RECORDING PROJECT OF THOM PAULOZZA AND JORDAN WOOD. THEY USED THOM'S KEYBOARD COLLECTION AND COMPUTER-BASED BEAT PROCESSING AS A STARTING POINT, BUT SOON BEGAN JUXTAPOSING THEIR COLD BEATS AND WARM PADS WITH LIVE AND ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS. THIS LED THEM TO FRIEND ANDREW ROY, WHOSE TECH/DISCO BASS FUSED THE FLUCTUATING SONG STRUCTURES TO HELP DEFINE THE "SLOW MATH" IN RABBIT SEASON'S SOUND. 'SLOW MATH', RABBIT SEASON'S DEBUT ALBUM RELEASE, COMPLETES THE FIRST CHAPTER OF THEIR DISCO, BAROQUE ROMP THROUGH SPACE. WITH DUELLING KEYBOARDS AND SOULFUL BACKBONE, THEIR TITLE TRACK IS A FREE YET CALCULATED ROBOTIC ANTHEM THAT EVENTUALLY GIVES WAY TO A HAUNTING GROWL. WITH THIS TRACK AND THE MOODY YET OPTIMISTIC 'UNNATURAL', THEY EXPERIMENT WITH VOCODERS AND SATURATION TO CREATE A SUBTLE WARMTH AMIDST THEIR DARK LANDSCAPES. LEANING CLOSER TOWARDS POP, 'READY SET FIRE' AND 'TIGER BAITS YOU TONIGHT' SHOWS THAT RABBIT SEASON IS MORE THAN JUST ROBOTS AND BEATS, BUT THAT THEIR FOCUSED LAYERS AND ORGANIC ARRANGEMENTS PUT THEM ANYWHERE BETWEEN TALKING HEADS, BRIAN ENO, JOHN MAUS AND GLASS CANDY. FOR FANS OF ITALIANS DO IT BETTER, DFA, ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, YEASAYER.
