Spirit Bunny
SPIRIT BUNNY are an experimental-pop band from Brisbane. Vocals and brittle circuit bent Casio keyboard melodies are nestled between slabs of buzzing Commodore64 synths, gritty beats and pulverising drums. Despite the predominantly 'retro' nature of the instruments - with their Commodore 64s and Casio Sk 5/8 keyboards harking back to the glorious ‘80s - there is nothing retrospective in their sound. Despite the lack of guitars, Spirit Bunny’s chaotic blend of broken sound bears as much in common with noisy-guitar-pop bands as dark-synth-wave groups.
