About Rabbit Rabbit Radio
Rabbit Rabbit Radio is a song spinning duo whose music draws on their love of art song, folk song, industrial music, improvised music, and heart-wrenching balladry. Carla is a lapsed classical violinist who wandered away from that path decades ago and never looked back. Matthias is a drummer/multi-instrumentalist with a lifelong commitment to absurdism and a good groove. If you listen closely, you'll hear traces of their other musical associations—Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Tin Hat, Skeleton Key, 2 Foot Yard, Minamo, The Book of Knots, Fred Frith's Cosa Brava—but Rabbit Rabbit Radio dares to peel back influence and to reveal a music that is stripped down and intimate. Their songs are raw and beautiful, sparse and rich, lighthearted and full of pathos—bringing to life the small stories of unsung heroes... and almost always telling the truth.
