"The recordings present a unique musical vision, with Xander Singh and Luc Laurent displaying an impressive mastery of their twisted but tasty pop...A treat-filled introduction to a duo unafraid to pound around on a variety of instruments such as trumpet, banjo, and piano...Singh and Laurent seamlessly blend their influences into a unified sound."

Pepper Rabbit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love it all
I talk my way through to the end
I want it all
And you will know my name
Dear Allison
And you will know my name
Dear Allison
You made me into a creep
And it’s just what I need
Can’t you see it’s all a game
To get you to learn my name
And you will know my name
Dear Allison
And you will know my name
Dear Allison
The lyrics of Pepper Rabbit's Allison are somewhat enigmatic, but upon closer inspection, they seem to reflect the yearning of an individual who wants to be acknowledged, seen and heard beyond their immediate surroundings. The singer seems eager to walk his way down and back, to talk his way through to the end, and to experience it all- the good, the bad and the ugly. The verse "You made me into a creep/And it’s just what I need/Can’t you see it’s all a game/To get you to learn my name" is vague, but it suggests that someone, possibly Allison, has had a profound influence on the singer's actions, forcing him to change his ways, behave in a rather abnormal manner and play a game, possibly to get her to notice him. The song ends with the repetition of the two lines "And you will know my name/Dear Allison," highlighting the singer's desire to be acknowledged, seen and heard by the titular character.
