Gram Rabbit - Cultivation!
In april 2006 i found out that amazing "Gram Rabbit" are going to release their second studio album, few days ago i finally got my hands on the cd & as i expected brilliant from begining to end. this time my review will be differen iwill describe it track by track instead of a general album review.
01. Waiting In The Kountry
Spiritual cowboys & indians song, about living in the open & how spiritual it is to someone whos not soo civilized living such a simple life. If this song would be converted to electronica it would fit perfectly "Goldfrapp"!
02. No Thoughts
Dumb voicemail interlude.
03. Bloody Bunnies (Superficiality)
First thing that hits your head is "wow this sounds alot like the : yeah yeah yeah" but a much softer/electronic version of them, once you hear it you will know what i mean.
04. Angel Song
Talks about being lost at some point of your life, either if you're high, horny, dumped, drunk, or depressed all the wrong things start to look right and suicide becomes an option almost too good to be true the idea that death could end it all. It's a very dreamy & melodic piano n guitar ballad.
05. Charlie's Kids
Funny electro song with a really disturbing concept, it's about a dealer who sells young kids as sex slaves.
06. Paper Heart
Dramatic dark symphonic revenge song.
07. Slopoke
About waking up the next day still hung over in someone else's bed without any idea of what happened the night before & feeling lost even though this could have been the best day to wake up on.
08. Jesus & I
King kong fighting aliens in UFO's who are trying to kidnapp a science genius dressed as jesus christ, it's about pressure the causes hallucination.
09. Sorry
Betrayal and back stabbing became a habit to every individual in this time, and the whole when to say sorry or who says sorry first becomes a dilemma. & even sometiems an innocent word such as "Sorry" could be covering a great evil. general feeling of the song is a typical mainstream pop-rock.
10. Crossing Guards With Guns
Fighting and protesting about something u spiritualy and religiously believe in that you would sacrifice yourself for that cause even if it takes to run across guards with guns, everything is happening in slow motion & all you focus on is to make it into history & the pain becomes numbing rather than painful.
11. Follow Your Heart
Starts as a mild piano cabaret ballad then slowly accelerates into a military marching anthem, very simple track & form what the title says its about following your heart.
12. Hares Don't Have Tea
Outro to the album sounds like it was recorded from a geisha prostitute performing in a high class society geisha house for a bunch of ugly wealthy old men, sexy in a dark way. perfect encore.
All the songs are performed by the female vocalist of the band "Jesika" except for "Angel Song" performed by "Todd" , The album adresses many issues and its very dark & melancholic, well produced and assorted (style-wise) it's just simply brilliant i give it 11/12 and thats only coz track #2 is a meaningless interlude.
Can't Wait To Read Your Opinions About It <3
