French for Rabbits

French for Rabbits are a dreamy alt-folk duo from Wellington, New Zealand. Their songs, often awash in nautically themed language, tell delicate stories of longing and regret. For the uninitiated, their music is reminiscent of dream-folk troubadours Marissa Nadler and Alela Diane or perhaps an acoustic Mazzy Star. Brooke Singer, who previously played in the much-loved Ragamuffin Children folk band and the shoegaze outfit The O’Lovelys, and jazz guitarist John Fitzgerald, formed the duo in 2011 after they both graduated from university.

Farao

Having spent the majority of 2012 playing club shows around the UK, Jahnsen today reveals her debut offering ‘Forces’. Although recorded late last year in the wintry climbs of Oslo, ‘Forces’ possesses a comforting warmth throughout its five delicate minutes. Fingerpicked guitar and hushed, shuffling drums drive the song along whilst Farao’s sweet honey toned vocal brings the bittersweet melancholy.
