Graph Rabbit Cover Pink Floyd

There have been more than a few covers of Pink Floyd’s classic track Comfortably Numb, and now Graph Rabbit have added their version to the list. The track is undoubtedly 100% Graph Rabbit too, with sedate acoustic guitar strumming and endlessly evolving arpeggios – the feeling is one of bliss rather than anguish – a different kind of numbness, heavy with psychedelic overtones and, perhaps, even … Continue reading Graph Rabbit Cover Pink Floyd

The use of bowed double bass with effects adds atmosphere and a sometimes psychedelic quality. Two guitarists juxtapose … Continue reading Introducing >>> My Darling Fury
