Album Notes & Community Reviews

Eschewing the polished grunge sound typical of mid-90s Sub Pop releases, Red Red Meat's 'Bunny Gets Paid' dives deep into murky, lo-fi blues deconstruction. The album utilizes ramshackle percussion, woozy slide guitars, and highly cryptic lyricism to create a uniquely unsettling psychedelic atmosphere. It served as a critical stylistic stepping stone for members who would later form the highly influential indie rock band Califone.
