Unbunny formed in Los Angeles in the early 2000s. Their song "5th Of July" became particularly well-known, capturing a certain bittersweet quality that resonated with listeners. They released albums like "The Womb" in 2004 and "New Moon" in 2006, with a sound that mixed alternative rock and folk elements.
The band included Rachel Haden on cello and vocals, Matt Sharp from Weezer, Jason Boesel, and Aaron Embry on drums. Their work together resulted in tracks like "We Wont Divide" and "Easy To Be Me," which carried a distinct, often haunting melodic feel. In 2006, they faced some legal issues related to Sharp's previous contract with Weezer, though it was settled out of court.
They kept putting out records through the 2010s, including "Aeon" and "From Here to There." Songs like "Broken Song" and "Certain Lights" maintained that core sound, spare, melodic, a little frayed at the edges. They weren't a band that chased trends, and their music held a specific, quiet space for people who found it.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
