If listeners aren’t already in a good mood, they will be, provided they pick up “Rabbit Habits,” Man Man’s latest album. Each track bubbles with speedy beats overlapped with hauntingly catchy riffs on guitar, honky tonk, marimba and sousaphone, to name a few of the band’s toys.

The band accrued a strong fan base during its tour with Modest Mouse last year, and its third studio album will not disappoint followers. The experimental, carnival-like eccentricities are found in each song, such as “Easy Eats Or Dirty Doctor Galapagos,” a cross between a drinking song and a nightmare’s soundtrack.

Unfortunately, the group’s unrestrained nature occasionally hurts it as much as it helps. “Hurly Burly” is a pleasant surrealistic ride across a handful of instruments and motifs, until it all congeals in an ending that is more headache than head banging.

Regardless, Man Man has produced a fun approximation of its energetic live performances.  

"Rabbit Love" by Man Man received three out of four stars.
