The group is essentially a psychedelic band, but very individual, more like 70's West Coast than the new English psych-bands, with the focus of attention on the voices of Tim Jones (which has a resemblance to Roger Chapman) and Terri-B, with acoustic folksy support, mixed with superb Hillagesque guitar by Holder. The group's approach can be strange at times and startling. "Angels And Lucre" brings in reggae, "Watch My Sanity Dissolve", "Changing The Guard" or "Dancing With The Demonised" are not uncommercial in a favourable sense, having straightforward catchy tunes. "Take Good Care" and "EpemeralFire" could be described as Sade on acid! "The Gap", as John Lee Hooker meets Family/Streetwalkers!! "Another Day, Another Hat", "Baffling The Sandmen" and "The Great And The Good" are pure Crosby, Stills and Nash. All this without omitting to brig in traditional elements of head music: hippy folk songs, female voice, wonderful vocal harmonies, spacey blues guitar or West Country feel.
The Rabbit's Hat do not fit into any specific period or place, but they have turner out a well made record, perhaps somewhat unorthodox at times if considered psychedelic rock, but that's one of it's attractions, conjuring for the listener echoes of a long era of music; music of all time, even.
