I Love this album. Gram Rabbit are the perfect mix of rock and electronica. The beautiful Jessica Rabbit has a mystical voice and a devilish allure. The sound is rich, the vibe is cool. If you are looking for a music to quit your job and start a cult to, this be it. enough said.

Bought this after hearing them on U-tube. A really inventive band from Joshua Tree in the high desert. The only thing more exciting is 26" of snow in the desert. I expect to see and hear much more from this talented group of rabbits.

A synth slinks in after a bit of strange loop, the bass lays the rhythm down, then the drums emphasize it, guitars crash and Jesika's wondrously weird vocals complete first track "Waiting in the Country" which is pretty straight rock except for the Western/Space bridge which could only come from Gram Rabbit. In a better world the out-of-this-world killer riff of "Bloody Bunnies" would have propelled this song into instant hit status. Heavy, humorous and catchy as hell, it's one of my favorite songs from any band. "Angel Song" takes us to Spaghetti Western territory with a majestic keyboard riff that rides on top of the rest of the instruments with vocals handled by Todd this time. Who but Gram Rabbit could have come up with "Charlie's Kids", a sweet and seemingly heartfelt ode to Charlie Manson's `family' and their offspring? It could very well be meant as ironic but one never knows. `Hedonistic insanity', indeed! And if that's not THE Charlie at the end among a pastiche of voices, it's a great fake and I'll eat my hat (or mushrooms). It's another high point on a somewhat (compared to the first album) inconsistent sophomore effort. "Paper Heart" is best described as cinematic pop and would be great music for a paso doble routine for the dance lovers among us. "Slopoke" goes from simple synth/guitar figures on the verses to heavy rock with the full band on the choruses, another extremely catchy tune. Another cinematic moment arrives with the supremely odd "Jesus & I" and there goes my mind again! Gram Rabbit presents us with a kind of manifesto on the rocking, electric pseudo-anthem "Sorry", another high point here. I love the title (and its implications) and surrealism of the song "Crossing Guards With Guns", a space rock piece. With its earnest piano, un-ironic lyrics and generic title, "Follow Your Heart" might seem out of place for a band like GR and on a CD like this but somehow it works if not up to the originality of most of the band's output. Sure, they're rabbits but they're PEOPLE too! The loopy, ambient strangeness of "Hares Don't Have Tea" makes for a perfect ending to "Cultivation" and puts my mind at ease that Jesika & Co. are still `out there' in all meanings of the phrase. Three bunny hops!
