Album Description
Bitch and Animal is a fresh, funky, animated duo of multi-instrumentalists, the kind you probably won't hear on the radio or see on MTV. They react to their surroundings by writing and performing sexually-energized songs that move butts and bust guts, using piles of instruments to explore piles of different musical styles. To record their new album, Sour Juice And Rhyme, Bitch and Animal locked themselves up in a house in the country, connected with nature and played croquet until their arms were sore.

With the help of co-producer June Millington (best known as the leader of the '70s rock band Fanny), Bitch and Animal effectively channeled the energetic vibes and hilarious antics of their live shows, giving Sour Juice And Rhyme more of a carefree spirit than their previous album, 2001's Eternally Hard. Bouts of comic storytelling rub shoulders with somber balladry, percussive spoken word, Carter-family country and rap. It's a sea of genres, moods and messages, expertly mixed together by two geeks living on a farm, letting it all hang out.

(Aaron Shakra, Oregon Daily Emerald, May 9, 2003)
"Sour Juice and Rhyme is an uncompromising album, righteously soaked with frenzy and truth."

Evan Schlansky, Rollingstone.com(June 10, 2003)
"Blending free-spirited zaniness with mind-expanding lyrics, the pair go to town on hypocrisy and conservative values."

Customer Reviews

Totally Disagree!
I think this album is great!!! Sure they're not entirely pleased about being lesbian women in the world today, but it sounds like the world hasn't exactly given them a lot of reason to be. And I really don't think that's the point either. I got this album because B and A have talent, a fresh sound to emphasize it, and a sense of humor. The message of their music IS love and tolerance....even their most agressive songs (aka Secret Candy) preaches that. I would advise people to go sample them on Ani D's website before making a decision about them, but don't just give up on them because of one unkind review.

It takes a lot for me to rate something as perfect...
I've been obsessed with this CD since I purchased it about six months ago. It's one of the few CDs I can actually listen to from beginning to end and love every song. The lyrics are genuine, the songs are simple yet entertaining...their main instruments seem to be just a violin and some bongos, yet they've created something so unique with such few resources. Obviously their music is directed toward a certain group, but I urge all music lovers to give this a chance.
