Arthur Russell - Picture of Bunny Rabbit - 12" Vinyl

A collection of previously unreleased recordings made alongside the creation of the 1986 masterpiece World of Echo.

Featuring nine tracks selected from those sessions, this album presents a quiet, intimate world woven from Russell’s cello, voice, spatial acoustics, and delicate, fading melodies. While closely connected to World of Echo, it feels even more personal, fragile, and beautiful.

Born in 1951 in Iowa, Arthur Russell was a cellist, composer, and producer.

Transcending genres such as minimal music, jazz, disco, ambient, folk, and dub, he was a unique presence in the underground music scene of 1980s New York.

Through collaborations with Walter Gibbons and Larry Levan, as well as co-founding Sleeping Bag Records, he helped bridge club culture and avant-garde music, pioneering new sonic landscapes.

Posthumously rediscovered, his influence continues to inspire many musicians today.
