rabbitkeeper is the project of my favorite barista at my favorite coffee shop that I work from two or three times a week. She's a guitar player with a primarily jazz background, who has a deep affection for black metal, and a boyfriend who plays interesting bass, and does cool vocal melodies. The result is a modern take on what I would have called Prog Rock... but there's more there than just widdling around with time signatures and tweedly guitar solos like you expect when you hear "prog rock". But I'm at a loss for what else to call it... This is a Spotify link to all of their extant recordings... done in their living room. The drummer has since moved away, and Alex is playing in a local altrock band now... but these tracks keep hooking me in. They are similar, in a way... like the band is chewing on a concept, and coming at it from a couple of different directions... I find myself coming back to it often.
Late for the thread, but this article on Gene Clark makes me VERY curious about the man's music... and shake my head at the vagaries of the music industry, and the turns this man's life took:
This album meanders through a handfull of electronica subgenres: lo-fi, vaporwave, future funk, tech, ambient. It's probably entirely stolen samples, which would be more upsetting if it wasn't free to download over on BandCamp.
I have been unapologetically using the "what song is this" function re Siri lately. I'll stop conversation and ask people to shush :) Today, in my Uber to the airport I discovered "Avant Gardner" by Courtney Barnett. I dig it. ecib I think you'd dig her spoken word/signing. Dig the lyrics a lot. Dig all of it a lot. Check it out:
