Bunny's a Swine unveil new record, new label

By P. NICK CURRAN | November 30, 2011

It's in their self-aware portrayal of everyday, disturbing mundanity and the down-to-earth earnestness with which they approach their work. It's the sound of hearing something again as if for the first time — a fresh start, a chance to marvel once more.

"And in 20 years, with whatever the fuck is going on," says Clement, "maybe somebody finds these [records] and goes 'Oh, shit, all these bands had this interconnected network.' Which is what we have right now."
