New Record Out

RabbitsssCover-smI just released a new record by ‘Rabbitsss‘ called Penguins. It’s a collaboration between Rae Howell and myself. We’ve been working on the record since 2005 I believe so we’re excited to finally have it released. It’s available at:
Spotify
iTunes
Amazon

CD’s are also available at Amazon or from us directly.

Penguins is a study in pulsating electronic, that type that lives through the imaginary, imperfect strings of organic (the percussive instruments) and the discrete charm of synthetic sound. The resulting balance is a delicate texture suspended between a colorful rendition of the rigors of contemporary music (Steve Reich, Terry Riley) and ambient pop (Stereolab, above all), that somehow manages to retain a playful tone, slightly clouded by a few melancholic lines.-ร‚ย Pop Matters

Penguins unspools in bright calm clarity, its overlapping marimba, vibraphone and keyboard motifs locking and interlocking like colored puzzle pieces, its hiccuping percussion delineating rhythms with crayon-emphatic precision.ร‚ย Howell is responsible for motif and melody; she carries the tune with a variety of percussive and keyboard instruments. Cohrs manipulates the sound electronically and adds the samples that both ground and distance these compositions. The real world, heard in glitch-stuttering beats, faraway voices and odd sounds, is indistinct behind a scrim. – Dusted Magazine
