Trap Rabbbit
“A couple years back, renowned jazz trumpeter Christian Scott introduced the concept of ‘stretch music’ in his album of the same name. The idea was one not of total re-invention or boundary-smashing, but rather of taking one’s creative vocabulary and stretching it to include as much style and range as possible, incorporating uncommon influences while remaining true to one’s musical roots.
Philly duo Trap Rabbit could easily qualify as stretch music… though they might prefer their own category of “weirdo beat rock.” Indeed, Arjun Dube’s complex drumbeats are prominently present in the band’s work, propping up and goading on Logan Roth’s expressionistic keyboard playing. It’s rooted in freewheeling jazz improvisation, but also lively hip-hop energy; sleek and suave disco grooves, and also laid-back funk. In the spirit of Medeski, Martin and Wood and Badbadnotgood, Trap Rabbit delivers raw and explosive instrumentals that hit a spectrum of stylistic touch points… “ — John Vettese, WXPN’s The Key
In their 3 years as a band, Trap Rabbit has garnered a fervent local following and continues to branch out with continued touring dates. Some of the group’s higher profile shows include openings slots for luminaries such as Taylor McFerrin, Mark Guiliana, and DJ Logic. In addition to creating original content, the duo regularly works as producers and session musicians with artists throughout the east coast. Their newest 2019 release, “Songs About Worms,” was produced at Hour Glass Recordings in Philadelphia, and is available now on CD and all streaming platforms.
