Dylan from the “now half-defunct” band Antarctica Takes It! emailed me today to let me know that he’s touring with a band called James Rabbit. Needless to say, that’s all it took to get me to check the band out. They’re kind of twee, but only in the sense that it sounds like they’re really having fun with it and are delightfully lo-fi.
MP3: James Rabbit - Girl Crazy!
I can’t believe that a song this simple can take so many twist and melodic turns without losing me along the way. The song largely sounds like Noah and the Whale, but often pulls up some first-record Architecture in Helsinki and even a couple vocal melodies that sound like Ted Leo. Basically, what I’m trying to convey to you is that this song is really awesome and I highly suggest it.
James Rabbit have a lot of free songs for download on their Myspace as well as some tour dates, so hit that up!
