Whoa! What a work - Rabbit Children beg comparisons to the ornate, intensely beautiful sonicscapes of Elliot Smith`s genius, later-era work. Rabbit Children that combines of acoustic, jangling electric guitars and orchestral elements, poignant lyrics, and, importantly, compelling, stunning melodies has given the band an unique sound. "They bring to mind such influences as Elliot Smith, Blur, The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Shins" - David Bash, International Pop Overthrow. "Thou Shalt Have A Time Machine" has 4 complete listens infor me the last few weeks and has catapulted to the `best of the year` list and should settle easily in one of the top spots. The songs are positively angelic awash with bathed strings, heart-pumping builds and arrangements that reward with a meaningful finish. Always soothingly melodic, achingly pretty, Rabbit Children will make the corners of your world that much sharper, brighter and that much more precious.
"This Chicago band offers up a winning combination of indie pop, . Opener "Escape" will suck you right in with its clever hooks and moody texture, not unlike Wiretree, while the Shins-like "Fingers Crossed" is a melodic treat. Other standouts include the playfully inventive (and jangly) "Keip", the piano chamber pop of "Bill, The Butcher", the Spoon-esque "Who Knows?" and the pretty-sounding Elliott Smith homage titled - what else? - "Pretty"."- Absolute Power Pop blog. "Their sticky sweet pop sound mixed with bits of psych holds a resemblance to late Beatles work." - Columbia Chronicle. EXTREMELY Highly Recommended!
