[Introducing] – Just Another Snake Cult

May 12, 2011, 9:00am Listen Before You Buy
[Introducing] – Just Another Snake Cult Tweet Somewhere between the quirky pop sensibility of Mull Historical Society and the actual insanity of The Fiery Furnaces ' "Blueberry Boat" lies the work of Thorir Bogason, otherwise known as Just Another Snake Cult. I wasn't aware that there were particularly many snake cults still around these days, but I'm delighted that there's another one. Sometimes music just makes you grin like an idiot. Born in Iceland (Maybe it's something in the water? Bjork's pretty cuckoo, right?) but raised in California, Thorir [...]

James Rabbit "Glimmer On Down" Tyler Martin, the primary songwriter of the Santa Cruz band James Rabbit, has always had a major romantic streak. It's one of the most charming things about him, really - he comes off like a starry-eyed sweetheart who believes in true love and grand gestures, even in spite of persistent anxiety and awkwardness. "Glimmer On Down" is his most elegant expression of this romantic streak. There are some moment where the band's characteristic wired angst comes through, but this is mostly graceful and lovely, complete with tinkling piano, old movie strings, [...]

Over Backlit City Skylines

Oct 26, 2010, 12:32pm MBV
James Rabbit - "Options" No one makes neuroses sound as fun and exciting as James Rabbit. "Options," basically a song in which Tyler Martin freaks out because he can't figure out a way to get through to an elusive girl who is "free of all media", places all its emphasis on the thrill of the chase. The song barrels forwards, totally urgent but also quite gleeful, and eager to take on the challenge. It always sounds good-natured and sweet, but that especially comes through when the song drops into a slower waltz section that contrasts [...]

What Do You Do When Your Soul's Out Of Synch?

Dec 16, 2009, 11:45am MBV
James Rabbit - "A Closer Look" There is good anxiety, and there is bad anxiety. Tyler Martin has a way of making the latter sound like the former, and somehow turns every nagging question mark in his head into buoyant songs that come across like rows of exclamation points in a large bold font. Even the calm moments in "A Closer Look" feel manic and over-excited, but the music is not spazzy or unfocused. Just the opposite, really - the song bursts with enthusiasm and inspiration, but it's a controlled, deliberate portrait of a mind overflowing with [...]

James Rabbit "These Are Perfect Waves" Even in spite of some occasional setbacks and ongoing frustrations, I am a pretty lucky person. One of the many ways in which I am fortunate is that I can count myself among the select number of people who can claim to fully love a song in which they are mentioned by name. "These Are Perfect Waves" in some ways comes across like liner notes set to music - I get my shout-out when Tyler starts listing off thank-yous - but it's more about memory, and being appreciative for [...]

Close Harmony With The New World

Apr 3, 2009, 11:17am MBV
James Rabbit - "In Love With The Idea" I believe that on a fundamental level, all forms of creative expression are communicative in nature, and that most of my interest in art and music comes out of my desire to understand and relate to other people. This is probably part of why I love James Rabbit so much - this notion of writing music to communicate what we cannot convey in everyday human interactions is foregrounded in the majority of Tyler Martin's songs. At least half of the songs on his band's new album Perfect Waves [...]

Major Key Angels Sing

Aug 18, 2008, 9:36am Fluxblog Is So Hot Right Now
James Rabbit "She Speaks, Rings, and Chimes" - The really lovely thing about "She Speaks, Rings, and Chimes" is how when the band sing "closer, closer, closer!" on the chorus, it actually feels as though they are actually approaching their destination. So what is the destination? Well, it's a song about infatuation, so transitioning from courtship to a relationship is a goal, for sure. But it's also a song about finding the best way to communicate, and attempting to articulate positive emotions in a way that does justice to their nuance and grace. In either [...]

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 [...]

From The Air To My Ears

Mar 17, 2008, 7:53am Fluxblog Is So Hot Right Now
James Rabbit "Red, Blue, Violet" - This is a cheerful song, but it's very restless. The singer is infatuated with a girl, but deeply frustrated because he can only advance his flirtation in fits and starts, so way too much of his time is spent anticipating the next move, the next step, the next possibility for total disaster. The song is barely even about her -- it's more about finding a way to kill the time when she's not around. He alternates between a feeling of stasis and moments of sincere -- though obsessive -- inspiration. There's [...]

James Rabbit "George Gershwin" - 1. James Rabbit's Coloratura makes me wish that this was some shady fly-by-night rar. blog, and that I could just give you the entire album all at once. I've been following Tyler Martin's music with interest for a while now, and have been pleased with his progress as he plugged away, recording a few albums with his friends ever year, each an improvement over the last. But Coloratura ...this is a breakthrough. This is the [...]
