Pepper Rabbit was formed in 2008 by songwriter Xander Singh whilst heading into the studio to record solo material. He asked his buddy Luc Laurent to play drums, but realized his contributions were more like someone you’d want to start a band with. Playing the roles of musical renaissance men (the duo sings while playing guitar, piano, trumpet, organ, ukulele, and clarinet), they create a liveshow that is incredibly intricate, incorporating live looping and sampling.
Found the track today on Chromewaves, thanks for the tip. Well, the original tip came from Ben a while back, guess I wasn’t really listening that day.
I’ve posted a whack of videos today on IndieMusicFilter.tv, including Yeasayer on Jools Holland, a new video from The Big Pink and a video of Villagers performing at SXSW courtesy of Yourstru.ly. Finally, head here to watch “Spanish Sahara” by Foals synched to the new Entourage promo. Works well, good job Broke Mogul. I wonder if you’d be up for an interview for our column Sync/Master?
What: A while back I briefly mentioned Idiot Glee in a post and recommended the vintage sounding, harmony laden track “Up” for your consumption. Well, James from the band has started a label called Hop Hop and continues to help bring back this gold old days of music. Its an album from Lexington, KY’s Matt Duncan called Beacon and I’d love you to hear the r&b sounding title track. I’ve only been through the record twice now, but I’m ready to throw it on for the drive up north this weekend. Buy the album here.
