Full title: Excerpts From Chapter 3: The Mind Runs A Net Of Rabbit Paths. The Rotterdam
based Psych/Post-punk group Rats on Rafts with their new and most textured record to
date "Excerpts From Chapter 3: The Mind Runs A Net Of Rabbit Paths". The albums name
refers to the period between their previous and this new third album. The album is
layered with songs and fragments that on different occasions refer to one another
musically and lyrically to form a song cycle. A concept album? It could be, but
first and foremost it offers a fragmented view into the wonderful and frightening
world of Rats on Rafts. Each song spins a yarn; there are plagues, dreams, wind and
fire, mythical characters, and the search for the secret government warehouse.
Drinking in the sounds of Van Dyke Parks (Song Cycle) Scott Walker (3 & 4), Moondog
(Elpmas), White Noise (An Electric Storm) and Beach Boys (Smile). Its a musical
melodrama: created in isolation - something we all know so well - a worldview shut
out from the world. This dark psychedelic album is a giant leap into the looking
glass which ultimately captures a more intense, experienced, layered and diverse
collection of songs.
