"All of our music is inspired by the desert," Jesika von Rabbit, half of Gram Rabbit, explains. "That's kind of what happened when we found ourselves out in the middle of the Mojave. It's such an inspiring place to write. It can't help being soaked into your music."
Along with partner in crime Todd Rutherford, Rabbit's collection of songs runs a demented gamut of music from whimsical murder ballads to the romanticism of cowboys via sleazy electro beats. "Music to Start a Cult To," not surprisingly, is a misshapen listen; a musical endeavor that is insane and intensely hypnotizing in how it utilizes pop to make mildly twisted concoctions.
If you've ever spent an extensive amount of time in the desert (especially in a Winnebago with your grandparents at a remarkably impressionable age), you know the hallucinogenic and warped tricks that the barren earth can play on you. Sooner or later, the wavering heat and mirages get to you and you snap. Really, it's not all that surprising to hear Gram Rabbit sing about aliens, Jesus and the Devil in possessed pop songs.
