From the L.A. Weekly, 2007…
From deep in their hutch out in faraway Joshua Tree, Gram Rabbit present for your listening pleasure something you didn’t know you needed, or wanted, even: the sound of surprise. This subtly bizarre band’s sound runs a gamut from slanted electro-pop and oddball country stylings to arcanely freaky rock psychedelicism that in its recombinant future-primitive urges recalls that of similarly sunbaked visionaries like Captain Beefheart and Harry Partch. Led by charismatic vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Jesika von Rabbit and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Todd Rutherford, the Rabbit are in fact a thrillingly unclichéd band with a refreshingly singular path, heard in its best form on 2007’s Radio Angel & the Robot Beat. That album goosed the goods higher by mockingly worshiping the excesses of big-rock-guitar rifferama interspliced with some fine, sultry loads of quiet-campfire R&B. The wise and witty way they sift through and polish the unloved detritus of pop — without metal detectors — should be an inspiration to us all. (John Payne)

The lead singer, keyboardist, and songwriter of Gram Rabbit’s first solo outing is a playful, poppy, and psychedelic “sextronic” experience, and includes the track “Psychic Spice” which is the subject of von Rabbit’s first video off the new album. The video, directed by Jessica Janos, starts with von Rabbit auditioning to be a new Spice Girl and unravels into a cornucopia of outrageous imagery featuring a warehouse of weirdos which von Rabbit refers to as her “prairie gangsters”.

Jesika von Rabbit –
Bunnywood Babylon LP
“Bunnywood Babylon is an introspective journal entry,” says Jesika von Rabbit. “It’s about self-deprecation, love, loss, finger-pointing, and wordplay fed through a funnel of Americana, psychedelia, atmospheric electronic futuristic pop rock ‘n’ roll.”
Bunnywood Babylon was recorded in Joshua Tree with additional recording and mixing in Silverlake. The album also features Jesika’s long-time musical partner, Dionysus Records CEO, former Unclaimed, Yard Trauma, and Davie Allan and The Arrows member Lee Joseph on bass and electric and acoustic guitars. The album is produced by Jesika and Ethan Allen.
The eerie high desert enclave of Joshua Tree is famous for its spiky trees, their twisted arms praying towards the heavens. Just below lies Palm Springs, an area defined by retro-futuristic architecture and golden age glamour. If there is an artist whose music personifies this unique region, it’s Jesika von Rabbit. Her brand of Electronica Americana is indeed a head-spinning mezcal cocktail of the high-lonesome sound meets Hollywood razzle dazzle.
Quirky and poppy, “Pretty Dum”, “Wacko”, and “Aberdeen Martin” are instant earworms. Windswept and poignant, “Desert Rain” and “Hooray for Hollywood” touch upon her penchant for classic Americana. “Go Back to L.A.” and “Gotta Keep my Buzz Going” are raucous fuzz rockers. “What is Your Ism”, “Surf Music” (digital-only track), and “I Can’t Find Me” are celestial journeys for the desolate space cowboy. And finally, “Year of the Tiger” is as sublime a ballad as you’ve ever heard. Closer “Desert Rain” rings with authentic melancholy and longing.
