Setting the tone with an elegant and immersive guitar soundscape, Late Met Dawn open Bunny with instrumental mastery and intrigue, needless to say, we are in awe. The electric guitar performance sends us astral, whilst the acoustic energy of the classical guitar grounds us. We appreciate the poetic nuance of the charismatic opus, and the emotional depth that is conveyed with the story.
Brooding vocals with situational lyricism seduce us. We learn that the creators, Fin, who performs classical guitar and sings, whilst Podge shares his expansive skill on the electric guitar, cite folk, classic rock, indie, country, and blues as their sonic inspirations. Fans of Leonard Cohen will absolutely be able to connect with Bunny, although there is no doubt that the duo are creating a universe of their own.
Fin‘s range and passion in his vocal timbre are tangible and with reference to the story and his muse, he confesses, “I went with a workmate to a pub in Sydney Junction on a hot day. A lady wandered and wombled from the bar drink in hand and approached us and started talking. Much to my friend’s surprise, it turned out to be true. She had been a Playboy model and still had an airbrushed fan page and clearly her.”
Fin adds with celestial depth, “The full moon was important and the song needed to be recorded live as the transition changed each time we played it, so made sense. We both finished this take and knew it was it.”
Bunny is the first single from Late Met Dawn‘s debut album, set for release later this year. We cannot get enough of the composition, and the moody red-tinted performance visual which brings to life the narrative of the composition perfectly!
