Clever Bunny Each Time

Clever Bunny is the twitching, long eared remedy for the restlessness of 2 old friends. Giles Allen and Pete Saville, a psychiatrist and artist respectively, share a love of music tinkering and together ran the Carbon Lodge rural recording studio for 6 years, where Clever Bunny was born from late night sessions and a photo of a precocious rabbit playing a toy piano. The original sound of Clever Bunny was a lo-fi collision of Allen’s penchant for UK Garage & House and Saville’s addiction to early Croydon eski-beat and 70s library music. The only trace of that beginning is a lost 7” called 'Liquid Kosh' carrying their distinctive keyboard rabbit emblem screen-printed on the sleeve. There are rumours that other early material will surface on a forthcoming Slowfoot compilation. Forward to 2024, Clever Bunny is the duo’s ongoing commitment to meet annually and experiment within a broad range of genres; beat, bass and voice driven, and to pursue their long form conversation about atheism and metaphysics, synthesis, serendipity, impossibility and the nudging of improvisation into familiar structures. Their recent desire to start documenting their activities led them to an off grid cabin in the woods near Horsham. It is a place of willing entanglement, where a handful of synths, a computer, a melodica and a pneumatic organ lead them on a merry dance. 'Each Time' captures the spirit of this latest wave of Clever Bunny’s output.
