document.writeln('<div>"Separate" is the debut album of Blue Rabbit, an experimental indie pop band out of San Francisco. Best described as \'lyric-driven art rock\', Blue Rabbit\'s sound on "Separate" consists of meticulously crafted lyrics done in 5-part harmony over driving drums, Celtic harp, cello, sparse keys and electric guitar.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Originally formed in 2005 as an experimentally sparse drum and vocals partnership between singer-songwriter, Heather Anderson, and drummer, Kevin Weber, Blue Rabbit has since expanded to include the musical talents of Arami Reyes and Sarah Rocklin (vocals), Timothy Galida (keys), Kristin Harris (cello), Eah Herren (Celtic harp).</div> <div><br></div> <div>This album also features previous members of Blue Rabbit, Lucretia Daley (vocals), Freia Funke (cello), and Amanda Guilbeaux (vocals), and was recorded and co-produced by Anderson and Weber at Spliggityfidge Studio.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Anderson\'s penchant for lyrical storytelling and haunting, minor-key melodies evokes a sense of magical mystical melancholy similar to that of UK contemporary, Bat for Lashes. Atypical time signatures and Kurt Weill-esque chord progressions give a theatrical feel to a sound that ultimately falls on the Bjork side of Arcade Fire.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Unabashedly literal and self-exposing, the lyrics to all eight songs on "Separate" tie together as part of a larger tale - an illustrated, musical, work of "autobiofictionalography", The Story of Sadie Jones, of which Anderson is the writer/producer.</div> <div><br></div> <div>The Story of Sadie Jones is an international, collaborative art project-in-progress, which combines autobiographical prose and songwriting with the talents of independent recording artists from around the world. Anderson\'s songs – both performed by Blue Rabbit and used in the project - have gained honorable mentions in London and on the West Coast. &nbsp;<a href="http://www.storyofsadiejones.com/">storyofsadiejones.com/</a></div> <div><br></div> <div><br></div> <div><br></div> <div>What others have said:</div> <div><br></div> <div>"… the title track is some great rolling cello pop." – The Bay Bridged (SF Bay Area Monthly Podcast)</div> <div><br></div> <div>"...Nick Cave songs sung with a touch of The Supremes." – Adrienne of Coal Beautiere (Band)</div> <div><br></div> <div>"...The Andrews Sisters playing with Portishead..." – Meddle of The Sparrow (Band)</div> <div><br></div> <div>Album Accolades:</div> <div><br></div> <div>"Getting Away" was included on "Women of Rock", a compilation album of female-fronted rock bands, produced and distributed by MJR Films.
