    This is one of those cases in which hearing an album is more about being supportive than actually making any statement. This is my first time listening to Arthur Russell and, honestly, I'm not sure how honored Russell would be about this, but I'm happy we can still find a use, a place and an opportunity for his sound to echo in our world and heart.

    A mix between ambient and some of Russell experimentation, the album is a beautiful constructed anthology about what makes Russell music so great

    Huge credit is due to Audika: while Picture Of Bunny Rabbit is an archival compilation built from disparate sources, it feels like the kind of asymmetrical, twisty little solo album Russell would have made himself, not just a bonus disc.

    Even Russell's most intimate recordings could make him feel like a phantom; as details are filled in, the phantom expands. [Aug 2023, p.94]

    The more menacing "Fuzzbuster #09" could almost be an interlude on Sonic Youth's Confusion Is Sex. A few other discoveries are equally astonishing. [Jul 2023, p.48]
