Review: Apple Rabbits - ‘Kilburn State’ Album

Posted by GetToTheFront On September - 26 - 2009

Artist: Apple Rabbits
Album: Kilburn State
Label: Infernal Machine Recordings

Released: Out Now
Reviewed by: Harriet Feilding

apple_kilburnKilburn State is the third album by apple rabbits following the beautiful debut album “King Of Anglia” and the now deleted “Ghost Of The Underground”. Jay Fisher of apple rabbits has managed to make an album that whilst electronically even experimentally led still gives us great songs and arrangements making it one of the most interesting yet listenable albums I have heard this year. Starting of with the choral “faces in the wallpaper”, to “Rosena”, which sounds like the Soundtrack to a soviet made cartoon and “Metrodomedary” a beguiling track reminiscent of a dubbed Severed heads.

This album really is full of surprises. For those who love great songs “I could not care Less” and the haunting- country style single “Yeah” are sure to please. Finally just when you thought you had the whole Shebang worked out, Mr Fisher finishes on a track called “Thank You Mr Hosono”, which pays tribute to Haruomi Hosono “Video Game Music. This third album does not disappoint, in-fact to my mind it his best work to date. It is difficult to think what he will come up with next.

(9/10)
