The Half Rabbits - Tiny Knives For Tiny Minds

'These Rumours' begins with a heartline bass, strong, sexy and funky; it penetrates and dominates. Large guitars sound like a confused ball of paranoia set to explode and along with vocals that sound like an English Paul Banks the frenzied atmosphere builds. Second track 'Someone's Coming' sounds different to the first, a more lighthearted track - or so it seems until the haunting bass line kicks in and it loses it's safety net. The drums, guitars and harmonised vocals all build just to fall into a downward spiral that bring the song to a close.

Final track Playing With Fireworks is more about the drums than the previous two as the beat stops and starts abruptly during the chorus breaking any mould the verses have created, the sedated vocals still overshadow the tune talking of a dangerous love.

The Half Rabbits sell themselves well with this single and b-sides as each song has it's own quality. The instruments can be reminiscent of We Are Scientists and Eastern Lane at times adopting two different approaches to rock.
