 'Moon Food' cd/lp

Affairs of the Heart

Released on 17th May  2010

UNBUNNY is the songwriting alter ego of Jarid del Deo and 'Moon Food' is his first album in 6 years. Well, sort of......

From the get-go it seemed risky. He wasn’t that good a guitar player. His performance was shaky. He’d criss-crossed the U.S. living in the woods of New England, the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, out to the flatlands of the lower Great Lakes. Skipping out on responsibility. In and out of money, love, jail. But the songs were there.

Then, he’s back up in the Northwest, Seattle exactly. He was trying to make good on some intentions. That’s where I found him working as a house cleaner. He said it was good work for him. Stabilizing. Something about staring into the penetralia of stranger’s lives helped him to see things clearly, get back on track. He was recording again. I took a chance on him. Snow Tires.  That was back in ’08.

Got a postcard from him just the other day, he’s on the move again. This time he’s in Southwest Florida, living on the Gulf of Mexico. Says he’s got a new record, wants to come to Europe, but he needs my help. I’ve never been a gambler, but I keep putting my money on this long-shot. We’re all a little restless, all a little rough. Fuck it, I’ll take a chance, I’m on a winning streak.
