Bunny Rabbit

Adopting the surrealist imagery of the avant-garde folktronic scene, Bunny Rabbit's devilishly erotic art-raps sent New York hipsters and critics reeling when she debuted Lovers and Crypts in 2007. The contrast of Bunny Rabbit's innocent-sounding, light voice and her actual lyrics was already a little disturbing, but her producer (and lover) <a href="spotify:artist:1cNKGPlN2voqvI1aG0myUD">Black Cracker</a>, the dynamic drive behind this <a href="spotify:artist:58Dx4HPzeOO3dbpD9YYEes">2 Live Crew</a>-meets-<a href="spotify:artist:5BKsn7SCN2XmbF7apdCpRS">Goldfrapp</a> project, provided the eerie soundscapes of dusty electro-crunk and trip-hop that clinched the album together. A Brooklyn native born of Samoan and Mexican descent, Bunny Rabbit (real name Melisa Rincon) never considered herself a musical artist of any type until she became romantically involved with Celena Glenn, an award-winning poetess and educator who doubles as <a href="spotify:artist:1cNKGPlN2voqvI1aG0myUD">Black Cracker</a>. A producer and live beatboxer for <a href="spotify:artist:05fo024EFotg9songSENOZ">CocoRosie</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1cNKGPlN2voqvI1aG0myUD">Cracker</a> encouraged Rincon to record her odd ruminations of a lost bunny rabbit wandering aimlessly through New York. Using <a href="spotify:artist:1cNKGPlN2voqvI1aG0myUD">Cracker</a>'s connections, Bunny Rabbit affiliated with the Voodoo-EROS imprint, which is co-owned by <a href="spotify:artist:05fo024EFotg9songSENOZ">CocoRosie</a> sister Bianca Casady. Lovers and Crypts arrived in February 2007. ~ Cyril Cordor, Rovi
