Le Fou

Le Fou is the 27th James Rabbit album. It was released in September, 2003.

Recording
Much like Trauma Season, rhythm tracks were written first by Tyler Martin on bass and Conner Martin on drums, with lyrics and overdubs added later. Grayson Soenke, present during the album Utilice Los Machetes and other early James Rabbit albums, provided mischevious guidance, helping the Martin brothers devise a number of inventions to create unusual sounds, including attaching a plectrum to a fan to create the rapidly strummed guitar solo in Static. Vanessa Waring joined the group, playing cello and flute and singing.

The outro to Better Luck is two different takes of a revivalesque call and response theme recorded by Tyler and about a dozen friends at the household of the Frank family.
