Robot vs. Rabbit: Dos
“Dos” is Robot vs. Rabbit’s second album since they came together in 1998, apart from various CD-Rs and compilation appearances. “Dos” is three years of panic attacks, heartache and depression filtered through pedals, old amps, and primal urges. This album is a continuation of the themes established with RVR’s Trading the Witch for the Devil album Whereas Trading the Witch focused on the horrors of World War II and the American psyche, Dos concentrates on the cold war era space race, the death of Kennedy, and the American dream.
In Robot vs. Rabbit, nobody’s the front man. Nobody plays solos. Nobody’s told what to play. They blur the boundaries between avant-garde experimentalism and trance-inducing improvisa- tion with droning, drug-fuelled performances.
RvR are influenced by non-verbal communication, which explains their love of instrumental music.
