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. 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<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like a steampunk spaceship, Jesika von Rabbit\u2019s latest release, Bunnywood Babylon, transcends musical space and time. Her ability to create deja entendu brings with it an uncanny resonance, an instant familiarity where one swears they\u2019ve heard her retrofuturistic music in a past life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"WHAT IS YOUR ISM- JESIKA VON RABBIT\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hkg8bxKwpHA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quirky and poppy, &#8220;Pretty Dum&#8221;, &#8220;Wacko&#8221;, and &#8220;Aberdeen Martin&#8221; are instant earworms. Windswept and poignant, &#8220;Desert Rain&#8221; and &#8220;Hooray for Hollywood&#8221; touch upon her penchant for classic Americana. &#8220;Go Back to L.A.&#8221; and &#8220;Gotta Keep my Buzz Going&#8221; are raucous fuzz rockers. &#8220;What is Your Ism&#8221;, &#8220;Surf Music&#8221;, and &#8220;I Can\u2019t Find Me&#8221; are celestial journeys for the desolate space cowboy. And finally, &#8220;Year of the Tiger&#8221; 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<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 stands as work that is as original and remarkable as it is incredibly varied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formerly the frontwoman and chief songwriter of the trailblazing and iconic Joshua Tree act Gram Rabbit, Jesika von Rabbit has released two critically lauded solo albums, Journey Mitchell and Dessert Rock. Her third album, Bunnywood Babylon released worldwide on June 13, 2025 (Dionysus Records).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesika von Rabbit recently won \u201cBest Female Vocalist\u201d and \u201cBest Song\u201d at the Joshua Tree Voice Music Award Show.
