Blush with Prince Bunny - An Interview


Ana Klahr e Michael Wagner, ou, para os íntimos, Prince Bunny, juntos criaram um dos discos mais belos que ouvi neste ano.

"Blush", lançado há pouco menos de um mês atrás, é uma pequena obra prima, que, infelizmente, ficará escondida no submundo dos bons sons, sendo apreciada apenas por poucos felizardos.

O que é realmente uma enorme pena, "Blush" é hipnótico do início ao fim, um pérola calcada no dream pop. Suas nuances são absolutamente envolventes, a voz é um colírio para os ouvidos, Michael, habilmente comanda as camadas através de seu synth, criando texturas com padrão 4AD de qualidade.

Muito mais do que um álbum, um verdadeiro medicamente para a mente.

***** Interview with Prince Bunny *****



Q. When did Prince Bunny begin? Tell us about the history...
Ana (vocals+guitars) played some songs at a local music festival that featured new female/femme presenting/nonbinary artists in 2016. Her solo artist name was Prince Bunny, given her obsession with rabbits. Mike (synth+drum machine+sampler) saw her and asked if he could collaborate with her. And they continued together as Prince Bunny.

Q: Who are your influences?
Beach house, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, Depeche Mode, Jesus and Mary Chain, Curve

Q. Make a list of 5 albums of all time…
Devotion - Beach House
Loveless- My bloody valentine
Heaven or Las Vegas- Cocteau Twins
Honey's Dead- Jesus and Mary Chain
Dopelganger- Curve

Q. How do you feel playing live?
We picture that our music engulfs the audience in a fluffy cloud of pastel swirly sounds

Q. How do you describe Prince Bunny´s sounds?
DIY dream pop


Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
We recorded all our music in Mike's basement! We only used a laptop, condenser mic, and an interface. Lots of reverb and trial+error.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
We do not listen to a lot of new music, we are kind of stuck in the past. Of the newer music we really enjoy well known Canadian artists TR/ST and Grimes, and not really that famous but really amazing Canadian artists and friends Hush Pup https://hushpup.bandcamp.com/

Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark- So in love

Q: What are your plans for the future?
We are in a sort of hiatus because we both moved to different cities. We are hoping we can keep a long distance project going and maybe tour next Summer around Eastern Canada.

Q: Any parting words?
Thank you for featuring us! And I hope you all enjoy the album <3 br="">*
