█░█ Check the picture for a comparison of the average █░█
█░█ vbr of each track, all are significantly higher █░█
█░█ than the -JUST advance... same grabber and lame █░█
█░█ were used. The only *possible* explanation is █░█
█░█ that the Rough Trade version is of inferior █░█
█░█ quality? but i highly doubt that. The JUST rip █░█
█░█ also seems to have 2 seconds of silence at the █░█
█░█ end of most tracks. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ ----- █░█
█░█ Jenny Lewis had just finished playing a show with █░█
█░█ her band Rilo Kiley, when Conor Oberst, Mr. █░█
█░█ Bright Eyes himself, approached her and asked if █░█
█░█ she would record an album for his new label, Team █░█
█░█ Love. Although she was nonplussed at the time, █░█
█░█ Lewis most assuredly found her voice on Rabbit █░█
█░█ Fur Coat, her exceptionally charming solo debut. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ The disc's dozen tracks were two years in █░█
█░█ gestation, with songs penned in the Rilo Kiley █░█
█░█ tour van, rehearsed around sound-checks, and █░█
█░█ finally recorded last year in the San Fernando █░█
█░█ Valley and Portland, Oregon. The Watson Twins, a █░█
█░█ pair of identically mellifluous sister singers, █░█
█░█ had Jenny's back the whole way, painting their █░█
█░█ own hymnal tones around the corners of this █░█
█░█ poetic album of full of unselfconscious █░█
█░█ confessions. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Largely autobiographical, the words behind the █░█
█░█ songs are the stories inside the girl. This is █░█
█░█ most pronounced on the album's title track, which █░█
█░█ underscores the narcissistic parenting style of █░█
█░█ Lewis' mother. Equal parts parable and memoir, █░█
█░█ the song details the woman's sad obsession over a █░█
█░█ rabbit fur coat, which is a symbol of prosperity █░█
█░█ for her. As a child, Jenny's mom had the garment █░█
█░█ stolen from her. To reclaim it and its powers, █░█
█░█ she pimps out young Jenny to network TV. Yes, █░█
█░█ folks, our currently cool heroine was once a █░█
█░█ dorky child star, landing guest spots on middling █░█
█░█ American television shows like "Murder, She █░█
█░█ Wrote" and "Mr. Belvedere." █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ In addition to writing directly about the twisted █░█
█░█ fairytale of her childhood, Lewis takes a █░█
█░█ levelheaded look at the complications of love. █░█
█░█ The already bumpy road to happy couplehood █░█
█░█ becomes even more fraught when your lover is also █░█
█░█ your bandmate, as was once the case with Jenny █░█
█░█ and Rilo Kiley co-founder Blake Sennett. The █░█
█░█ messiness of romantic entanglements surfaces on █░█
█░█ the achingly catchy "You Are What You Love," when █░█
█░█ Lewis sings: "Every morning upon waking / To you █░█
█░█ I'm a symbol or a monument / Your rite of passage █░█
█░█ to fulfillment / But I'm not yours for the █░█
█░█ taking". Or, from "Melt Your Heart": "When you're █░█
█░█ kissing someone who's too much like you / It's █░█
█░█ like kissing on a mirror". █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ A gifted lyricist, Jenny Lewis is also a very █░█
█░█ fine singer, landing on each note with just the █░█
█░█ right touch. She can belt it out with a soulful, █░█
█░█ Neko Case-like clarion call ("Big Guns"), put on █░█
█░█ a Lucinda Williams drawl ("Rise up with Fists!"), █░█
█░█ or purr like Margot Timmins ("Happy"). The █░█
█░█ musical stylings of all of these talented ladies █░█
█░█ echo throughout the accompaniment on Rabbit Fur █░█
█░█ Coat, but Lewis takes these elements back to █░█
█░█ their roots. Without copping a retro sound, Jenny █░█
█░█ has tapped into a fifty-year-old Americana, █░█
█░█ finding that sweet spot at the birth of rock æn' █░█
█░█ roll when folk, country, gospel and vocal pop █░█
█░█ were all melding together, but before the █░█
█░█ increasingly heavy backbeat of rock displaced the █░█
█░█ lilting shuffle of Sun Studios-era rockabilly. █░█
█░█ Acoustic guitars roll their melodies over brushed █░█
█░█ snares, and occasionally a slide guitar surfaces. █░█
█░█ Even the most driving number, a cover of the █░█
█░█ Traveling Wilbury's "Handle with Care" that █░█
█░█ features Oberst in the role of Bob Dylan, is █░█
█░█ performed with restraint. The name of the game is █░█
█░█ minimalism, with the backing tracks always █░█
█░█ remaining where they belong: in the background, █░█
█░█ behind Jenny's vocals. This holds true, too, for █░█
█░█ the Watson Twins. Their sweet sopranos softly █░█
█░█ enfold the record, wrapping the material in an █░█
█░█ aura of O Brother-ly warmth. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Rabbit Fur Coat will likely be the most █░█
█░█ refreshing album you'll hear all year. It is art █░█
█░█ without artifice in a crass and boorish age. The █░█
█░█ music is pretty and pure, but without being coy, █░█
█░█ or cutesy, or na∩ve. The lyrics are open and █░█
█░█ direct, but so much finer and more carefully █░█
█░█ crafted than the bloggy spewings of her emo █░█
█░█ cohorts. In case you couldn't tell, I am █░█
█░█ musically smitten. Go on now and get yourself a █░█
█░█ Rabbit Fur Coat. You'll be smitten, too. █░█
