the church of bunny lake - bunny lake

2.10.2007 von mk.

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of BUNNY LAKE. File under: Blues Electro, Rave-a-billy, Haunted House. Music for packed dancefloors and throbbing hearts alike. Music that tells lurid tales of insatiable desire, of the fever of irrationality, of opposites as inextricable as exciting.
With the successful track “Disco Demons”, the collective from Vienna’s Electro underground rocked the planet’s fluo kids and rave’n'rollers, made the playlists of DJ icons such as Mark Moore and Boris Dlugosch, was feted by Ivan Smagghe, Mylo and Laurent Garnier. BUNNY LAKE shows in jammed clubs in Berlin, Amsterdam and New York followed, complete with spontaneous acts of crowd participation such as artists rolling around on the floor and couples of all genders making out in front of the stage in various combinations.
With “The Church Of Bunny Lake”, their sophomore album, SUZY ON THE ROCKS, CHRISTIAN FUCHS and DR. NACHTSTROM intend to give the adventure that is pop a further twist. Decisive input came courtesy of producer CHRISTOPHER JUST. The legendary DJ-Gigolo (Kitsuné, Chicks On Speed) managed to perfectly fuse the band’s rock’n'roll-obsessions (which comprise anything from Elvis to The Velvet Underground and The Cramps) with his euphoric Techno aesthetics, without succumbing to any tired crossover clichés.
However, “The Church Of Bunny Lake” is not only about sexy monster sounds for nights that seem to last forever. As is the case for all the most passionate indie combos, BUNNY LAKE, too, provides glimpses of harsh reality. And then, there’s love. For, even if the band polarises by its use of glam quotes, its way of presenting itself, and its game of auto-dissipation, what SUZY, CHRISTIAN & Co. are really after is to seduce, bewitch, and embrace you.
