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.
