Man Man-Rabbit Habits
Anti
April 8, 2008

I have no clue how to actually describe Man Man. They are eccentric. They play a style of indie rock and roll that is fun to listen to but may annoy the the hell out of listeners, as is isn't the most accessable sounding music out there.

Strange sounds are laced throughout the album, including instrumentation such as cowbell, xylophone, saxophones, keyboards and/or synths, and a bunch of others. The music is very theatrical, with "The Ballad of Butter Beans" sounding like a cartoon chase scene with its running xylophone and glockenspiel.

This may be a difficult album to wrap your head around, but it is a pretty enjoyable listen. Its a challenge in eccentricity, which may cause people to lose patience with it, but Man Man are a pretty damn interesting band out there with plenty of out of the box songwriting ideas that I'm betting lots of people wished they thought of.
