Shrag – Rabbit Kids (Where It’s At Is Where You Are) 7″

Product Description

New single “Rabbit Kids” is another fine chance to get acquainted with Shrag’s charms. The oblique title and muffled production again suggest the early English DIY movement. The surging boy-girl chorus and exposed nerves could almost entice you to visit MySpace again. We don’t hear the full story, but the scene is one of painful departure: “Why don’t you just stay?/ It’s hard to see you fall apart that way.” Little details– “The hand in palm/ The coral dawn”– help what sounds like personal heartache resonate for a wider world. It doesn’t hurt that the song is bright, scrappy, and exuberantly melodic enough to rank alongside tracks by Love Is All, the Long Blondes, or early Los Campesinos!. A few more like this, and Shrag might break through yet, though you get the sense they’re happy just playing in a band with their friends.
