You know, hype is a funny thing. It can kill anticipation. Back in December, you couldn't blog 5 feet without tripping over leaked tracks from Jenny Lewis' solo debut Rabbit Furcoat. And now that January's winter grip has finally taken hold what are we left with? Nothing. Even though her album won't be released until next week it already feels old. And that, my friends, sucks. It sucks because Ms. Watson et. al have created a beautifully majestic album about love, failed relationships, cherished friends, and well, rabbit furcoats. Do yourself a favor and pick this album up when it's released on the 24th. It's well worth it. For your listening (dis)pleasure:
