Arthur Russell – Picture Of Bunny Rabbit

Released 2023, Picture of Bunny Rabbit is a posthumous compilation unearthing previously unheard recordings from 1985-86 — the same sessions that produced World of Echo.

On this album, Russell’s fragile cello, echo-soaked vocals, and minimalist instrumentation drift between ambient abstraction and haunting intimacy. Tracks like “The Boy With a Smile” and the title instrumental “Picture of Bunny Rabbit” evoke a ghostly beauty — subtle, emotional, and deeply evocative.

The result is a shimmering, otherworldly collection that feels both like a precious artefact and a living, breathing album — a rare chance to hear Russell’s experimental side in full bloom long after his time. Many critics regard it as a profound addition to his legacy.
