A Bunny's Caravan
Draining Puddles, Retrieving Treasures

LA RECENSIONE

A Bunny's Caravan is a Norwegian band with only one very valid studio album: "Draining Puddles, Retrieving Treasures," released in 2007. The genres identifiable in their musical offering are indie, post-rock, and emo.

The tracks are six, well distinct and balanced, each capable of offering the listener a unique and rich emotional experience.

Focusing a little on the stylistic influences of A Bunny's Caravan, it can be said that vocally there's the typical imprint of Thom Yorke from Radiohead, while the atmospheric passages show some references to Godspeed You! Black Emperor, which are evident in the fifteen-minute duration of the final track, "Radio: P.C." Despite the comparison to Thom Yorke, which fits perfectly, it must also be clarified that the vocalist of A Bunny's Caravan, compared to his Radiohead counterpart, has a quite different singing technique: more multifaceted, rocking, and less experimental. Listen to the track "Cartwheels into the Abyss" to clear up any doubts about this.

As already slightly mentioned at the beginning, one of the main points of the work lies in the rhythm section, which presents an excellent balance between atmospheric passages and rocking moments, except for the track "Resolving the Static," which satisfies the listener's ear with an omnipresent acoustic guitar with an ironclad and intriguing sound.

A strong sense of melancholy, on the other hand, emerges from the depths of the listener's soul with the tracks "My Attic Relapse" and "Keeping the Wins," which propose a stylistic emo that I would define as progressive or almost.

Every single track in the work has a well-defined mark; it is also this important characteristic that gives a great touch of class and personality to A Bunny's Caravan, whose (unfortunately only) studio album manages - listen after listen - to constantly surprise.

Describing the immense beauty of "Draining Puddles, Retrieving Treasures" and the great amount of emotion it offers is not easy, but I hope I've managed to convey the idea at least to some extent. In doubt, I've decided to bring this gem to light, considering that I haven't found any Italian review dedicated to it on the web.

As the title suggests, "Draining Puddles, Retrieving Treasures" is truly a hidden treasure and, in my opinion, highly recommended for those who adore post-rock.
