"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."

Send In The Horns
Pepper Rabbit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't try to impress your mother
I will not dine out late with father
We won't sip wine and talk to each other
I will not wait for you
I will not stay for you
I'm in the waiting pool
I won't drink from sweetest goblets
I won't break your sister's habits
I cannot say why I am leaving
I cannot leave until the morning
I want it all away
The lyrics to Pepper Rabbit's song Send In The Horns convey a sense of resignation and surrender to fate. The singer appears to be in a relationship that is falling apart, as evidenced by their refusal to fight or try to impress their partner's parents, their acknowledgement that they will not be spending time with each other's families, and their admission that they cannot explain why they are leaving. The singer seems to have given up on trying to salvage the relationship, suggesting that they "won't wait" for their partner or "stay" for them. Instead, they are "in the waiting pool," in a state of limbo, waiting for something to happen.
One interesting interpretation of these lyrics might be that the singer is feeling trapped and suffocated in the relationship, and is seeking some kind of escape or release. They refuse to conform to the expectations of their partner's family, suggesting a sense of rebellion or nonconformity, and they are unable to articulate why they are leaving, perhaps because the reasons feel too personal or painful to share. The refrain of "I want it all away" seems to echo this desire for freedom and release, as if the singer is longing to shed the constraints of their relationship and start anew.
Overall, Send In The Horns is a beautifully melancholic song that captures the complex emotions of a failing relationship with subtlety and poignancy. Its lyrics are a reminder that sometimes, surrendering to fate and letting go can be just as powerful as fighting to hold on.

I love that they incorporate such a fun menagerie of instruments/percussion without overwhelming their sound. Everything is well placed within the context of each song. These guys are about the music - no doubt.
