BUNNIES Return: New Single “Homunculus” & Horror Spectrum LP

BUNNIES Get Weird(er) with New Single “Homunculus”

If you’ve spent any time in the Western Massachusetts underground over the last twenty years, you’ve likely encountered BUNNIES. They are the quintessential “band’s band”—a group that has spent two decades balancing total sonic chaos with a weirdly precise kind of calculation.

They’re back with a new single, “Homunculus,” and it’s exactly the kind of unchained, fuzzy, “what did I just hear?” experience we’ve come to expect from them.

A Single Creative Organism

BUNNIES isn’t just a lineup of musicians; they operate like a single, telepathic unit. Jeremy Macomber-Dubs, Jack Science, Matthew Newman, and Becca Macomber-Dubs have spent years blurring the lines between psych-rock, art-rock, and pure experimental noise.

Their upcoming LP, Horror Spectrum, has been nearly five years in the making. If “Homunculus” is any indication, the wait was worth it. The track feels like a dive into a deep, dark hole, but one that’s lined with technicolor lights and unexpected hooks. It’s dissonant, it’s loud, and it’s unapologetically strange.

Life Imitating (Dark) Art

The concept behind “Homunculus” is heavy. It started as a dive into modern morality and depravity—using the idea of a “homunculus” (a distorted, artificial human) as a metaphor for the evil we see in the world today.

In a move that’s frankly a little spooky, life ended up imitating art. After the song was written, news broke about a man in Connecticut who had been held captive for over 20 years—a real-life “homunculus” story that mirrors the track’s themes of confinement and corruption. It’s the kind of dark coincidence that gives the song an extra layer of grit.

Why It Matters

In a music landscape that often feels polished to a fault, BUNNIES are a reminder that there’s no such thing as “too weird.” They aren’t making music to fit a playlist or a genre; they’re making it because they love the journey into the unfamiliar.

“Homunculus” is out now, and Horror Spectrum is coming for your speakers soon. Strap in.
