Man, Man Man is Magnificent

Man Man's Rabbit Habits comes out on April 8th on Anti-. This is the closest thing I've heard to a modern reflection of what Waits and Zappa accomplished in their respective glory days. Rabbit Habits is full of wild circus ballads that create more genres than take to them. This style of play breeds stories and imagery without understanding the lyrics. The inflections of voice and bass tone carve out each fantastic mood directly from your ears to your brain. I just imagined a box car picking up musicians along it's travels through the midwest until the train gets so weighed down it has to stop. The final destination is an old run down paper mill. That's when all hell brakes loose. I know...I'm strange...this album's got a hold of me...help. Man Man is playing their record release show at the Starlight Ballrom on April 8th with Dirty Projectors and The Extraordinaires then heading out a major tour with Yeasayer.
