Rabbits on the Run Tracklist
Rabbits on the Run is the fourth studio album from Vanessa Carlton, released on July 26, 2011, through Razor & Tie.
On October 2, 2010, Vanessa Carlton tweeted that she had completed her fourth studio album. In February 2011, a video was posted to Carlton’s official website. In the video, she explained the process for producing her album, and stated that she questioned whether or not she would make another record, as she had been experimenting with writing film scores. She further explained that after deciding to produce another record, Carlton felt she needed to create the ideal environment in order to produce what she felt was the perfect album.[ She said that she wanted to capture a creepy, honest, dreamy, fantastical sound with ‘Rabbits on the Run,’ a title and concept inspired by books like Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time, and Richard Adams’s Watership Down.
“Rabbits on the Run” Q&A

What have the artists said about the album?
The thing with Rabbits on The Run was, there was an element with that album that I was never allowed to do. I had this really beautiful children’s choir sing, The Capital Children’s Choir. I wanted a children’s choir and I wanted to work from the drummer from My Morning Jacket, Patrick Hallahan, and I wanted to work with Steve Osborne who produced Doves. He produced the Doves album The Last Broadcast. I met Osborne through a friend and sent him demos. He had no idea who I was, and that’s how I started working with him. Rabbits on The Run was my first real album as an artist. At that point, I finally had some dignity. We had collaborated in a really beautiful place. We went to Real World Studios in England where Sade does her records. You always want to go where Sade goes: it’s Peter Gabriel’s studio."
