EPK — BLUE RABBIT

Blue Rabbit is an indie-pop band from San Francisco fronted by a close-harmonizing trio of women. Grounded by drum and cello grooves, Blue Rabbit’s haunting vocals, lyrical imagery and minor-key melodies evoke a sense of magical melancholy akin to Florence & the Machine, while their penchant for counter-melodies, atypical time signatures, and Kurt Weill-esque chord progressions, sets them in the art pop vein of Lucius and Arcade Fire.

After self-releasing their debut EP “Separate” in 2008, Blue Rabbit recorded a follow up a year later. The songs sat in a vault for 8 years, a time during which the band lost their practice space to the rising rents and gentrification of San Francisco, leading them to break up and eventually get back together. The aptly titled 2017 release, “Flattened & Shined” is as much a collection of 5 songs that have been polished and pressed, as it is the band's re-commitment to the art of making music. With gripping melodies in three-part harmony over lush symphonic layers and intricate rhythms, it is avant-garde, unique, daring, and smart.

Blue Rabbit is currently working on their 3rd EP to be released in late 2017.

A song encouraging the escape of the routine, the traditional, the expected. Triumphant. HORSE AND BIRD Written by Heather Anderson // Music by Blue Rabbit Recorded at Spliggityfidge Studios by Kevin Weber Head is out, Held in wait, Flag goes down, Through the gate. Run away, Golden Colt! Run away! Forget the oval you've been sold – keep running straight! There's no jockey on your back, there is no guide. There's no crowd, no race, no track, all bets aside. She is out - she is out - she is out! But she's safe. Wings are back, Like in flight. Eyes are closed In the night. Sing away, Yellow Bird! Sing away! Forget the hushing that you've heard and state your claim! The only cage is in your head – there are no bars. There's no perch, no walls, no roof, just sky and stars. She is out - she is out - she is out! But she's safe. Run away, Golden Colt! Run away! Forget the oval you've been sold – keep running straight! There's no jockey on your back, but a yellow bird, Singing thoughts you might have had but never heard. She is out - she is out - she is out! But she's safe. --- Heather Anderson, vocals Arami Reyes, Vocals Sarah Rocklin, vocals Kevin Weber, Drums & Percussion Tim Galida, Rhodes & Synth Kristin Harris, Cello Eah Herren, Harp L.
