Pepper Rabbit Announce New LP - Red Velvet Snow Ball Out August 9th On Kanine Records.Since Pepper Rabbit's debut album Beauregard was released last fall, the band has been touring nonstop, with the likes of Passion Pit, Freelance Whales, Miniature Tigers, and Ra Ra Riot. The duo made up of Xander Singh and Luc Laurent, is now pleased to announce the release of their new album this summer along with upcoming tour dates with Givers.
On tour, Pepper Rabbit will continue to showcase stand out tracks from Beauregard, like “Older Brother”, as well as tracks from their new sophomore album.
Red Velvet Snow Ball is to be released on August 9th, 2011 on Kanine Records. The Los Angeles duo continues to be inspired by the band’s birthplace, New Orleans. This album highlights the band’s ability to incorporate 11 instruments into their songs and include influences that span generations, from Portishead to David Bowie and Supertramp to Jamie Lidell to create their own brand of psychedelic pop music.
“Songs that manage to be happy and haunting all at once” FILTER
"Singh and Laurent have an easy way with large but unexpected arrangements, bouncing from banjo, trumpet, xylophone, and clarinet, sometimes within the same song" UNDER THE RADAR
"Like Grizzly Bear and Mercury Rev taking drugs yet to be invented, the band's music draws on the delicacy of chamber instruments" LA TIMES
