Friday, April 11, 2025 (Joshua Tree, California) \u2013 Jesika von Rabbit<\/strong> will release new studio album titled, Bunnywood Babylon<\/em><\/strong>, on Friday, June 13, 2025 (Dionysus Records). Formats include digital and vinyl LP. Written by Jesika von Rabbit<\/strong> and produced by Jesika von Rabbit<\/strong>  and Ethan Allen at The Rabbit Ranch, Joshua Tree, CA, and Royal Triton Studios, Silver Lake, CA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Bunnywood Babylon<\/strong> is an introspective journal entry,” <\/em>says Jesika von Rabbit<\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s about self-deprecation, love, loss, finger-pointing, and wordplay fed through a funnel of Americana, psychedelia, atmospheric electronic futuristic pop rock \u2018n\u2019 roll.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eerie high desert enclave of Joshua Tree is famous for its spiky trees, their twisted arms praying towards the heavens. Just below lies Palm Springs, an area defined by retro-futuristic architecture and golden age glamour. If there is an artist whose music personifies this unique region, it\u2019s Jesika von Rabbit<\/strong>. Her brand of Electronica Americana is indeed a head-spinning mezcal cocktail of the high-lonesome sound meets Hollywood razzle dazzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like a steampunk spaceship, Jesika von Rabbit<\/strong>\u2019s latest release, Bunnywood Babylon<\/em><\/strong>, transcends musical space and time. Her ability to create deja entendu<\/em> brings with it an uncanny resonance, an instant familiarity where one swears they\u2019ve heard her retrofuturistic<\/em> music in a past life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quirky and poppy, “Pretty Dum”, “Wacko”, and “Aberdeen Martin” are instant earworms. Windswept and poignant, “Desert Rain” and “Hooray for Hollywood” touch upon her penchant for classic Americana. “Go Back to L.A.” and “Gotta Keep my Buzz Going” are raucous fuzz rockers. “What is Your Ism”, “Surf Music”, and “I Can\u2019t Find Me” are celestial journeys for the desolate space cowboy. And finally, “Year of the Tiger” is as sublime a ballad as you\u2019ve ever heard. Closer \u201cDesert Rain\u201d rings with authentic melancholy and longing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lyrically bold, provocatively thoughtful, cheeky, not preachy, this is pop music for the sapient. In an era where most artists just write the same song in perpetuity, Bunnywood Babylon<\/em><\/strong> stands as work that is as original and remarkable as it is incredibly varied.<\/p>\n\n\n
