<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-autospace:none"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Rabbits on the Run</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> is the most honest and uncompromised album
<b>Vanessa Carlton</b> has recorded to date, revealing a striking departure and an exciting snapshot in the evolution of this exquisite storyteller and inventive musician. The album was recorded in the UK at
<b>Peter Gabriel’s</b> world-renowned <b>Real World Studios</b> with producer <b>
Steve Osborne</b> (U2, B-52’s, KT Tunstall, Doves). The album finds Vanessa returning to music-making its most organic form to create ten intimate, evocative songs, recorded directly to tape with her close-knit team of collaborators including Steve Osborne,
Patrick Hallahan of My Morning Jacket, and Ari Ingber of The Upwelling (all playing on the album). Partly inspired by two books, Richard Adams'
<u>Watership Down</u> and Stephen Hawking's <u>A Brief History of Time</u>, <b>
Rabbits on the Run</b> is 10-song set of gorgeous, haunting melodies and finely-crafted stories, including the lush first single
<b>"Carousel,”</b> the ambient and eerie <b>“Hear the Bells”</b> and the propulsive
<b>“London.”<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
