Sometimes, you want to win the fight. But when you’re your best self, you just walk away. That’s the moment Rah Rah Rabbit captures on their Western swing-influenced “Game You’re Playing.” Led by Rabbit (aka Laura Anne Lacey), the LA sextet brings a punk rock grit to their string band chops.
Rabbit wrote this entire song from beginning to finish in the shower after a squabble with a former partner. She recorded it in her Voice Memos while driving to work and figured out the guitar part when she got home. It was one of those rare and lovely instances where a whole song comes to you in one piece from some deep rooted frustrations in your gut, and she found it didn’t really need much editing afterwards.
The band is tight in this bouncy number, moving as one and clearly relishing the opportunity to kiss of an exceptionally stubborn person.
