Red Red Meat *and* Califone are playing the Empty Bottle in November and there are somehow still tickets.

Been thinking about these guys lately. What a neat band. Bunny Gets Paid is great.

Love that one as well.

Such a great, singular band

I remember once hearing an incredible cover of 'Gauze' from Bunny Gets Paid, but my searches are turning up nothing.
Does anyone know any covers of this song? Or am I making this up in my head? It's not impossible, my brain does this with music sometimes...
Bunny Gets Paid is a masterpiece btw.

Never heard it myself, but you may be thinking about Carissa’s Wierd’s cover. It’s on this:

That's the one, thank you! Nowhere near as good as I remember it, sadly. Guess I used to have a higher tolerance for mumbly lo-fi slowcore...

Yeah, it’s really not all that. The original is magnificent though. Such an unsong band.

unsung, damnit

Totally agree, they're way too underappreciated.
The left turn they took on Bunny is amazing, like a lower-stakes version of the transformation Talk Talk took on Spirit of Eden. There's a willingness to embrace different textures and a looseness to the playing (without compromising composition) that totally works.
Carpet of Horses is a stunning statement of intent that really sets the tone for the record's textural highlights (Gauze, Nadia's Theme, Sad Cadillac). It's these detours that really puts into sharp focus the more propulsive highlights (Chain, Idiot Son, Oxtail). What a journey!

This is a really good way to describe Red Red Meat, and something I had never considered before.

Agreed, very good observation
