Music Minute: Happiness is Simple

A collection of eight original songs, Happiness Is Simple is now available. Check out Dogs Like These below!

Rabbit! is an offbeat indie pop duo of Ashton Allen and Devin Moore. For more than a decade, the songwriting pair have created a veritable soda fountain of happy, hopeful, and lovable tunes which have captured the attention of critics and families alike. Taking cues from such unconventional acts as They Might Be Giants, fun., and Of Montreal – with a sprinkling of the wide-eyed optimism of 60s bubblegum acts like The Archies and The Monkees – Rabbit! spins their own brand of quirky pop that speaks to a multi-generational audience.

Whether it’s playing a prop-filled set at Las Vegas’s Life Is Beautiful festival or performing for kids at an ice cream shop in North Carolina, Rabbit! leaves their delighted audiences begging the question, “Is this kid’s music for adults, or adult music for kids?”

Allen and Moore are longtime friends who met in Florida and began their songwriting collaboration as Rock Salt Music in 2007. Their songs have been licensed by top brands like Honda, Zappos.com, Samsung, Dove and Frito-Lay, and they have also composed music for various television and film productions, most recently the theme song for a new Netflix kids’ show called “Izzy’s Koala World.” Refinery29 calls their tune “shockingly catchy.”

Formerly based in Los Angeles, Moore moved to Seattle last fall, and Allen returned to Orlando. The two continue to work together transcontinentally, and they hope to meet their fans #IRL again in the near future.
