Smoking the Bunny is the second album in a planned trilogy from Brooklyn avant-indie band Wilder Maker, following 2025’s The Streets Like Beds Still Warm. Across seventeen tracks, bandleader Gabriel Birnbaum steers expansive, groove-oriented compositions with poetic, cinematic qualities: warped nocturnal avant-pop with engaging hooks around every corner.The record draws on the full range of Birnbaum’s musical life, from free jazz and improvisation to indie rock and ambient home recordings. “I hope that ultimately this trilogy will be viewed as a time when I liberated myself from my influences,” he says.Following the model of Talk Talk’s Spirit of Eden, editing itself became a creative instrument: band improvisations recorded at Figure 8 in Brooklyn were condensed through tape machines and effects pedals, then reassembled, with vocal melodies improvised over the results before lyrics were composed.The album features contributions from Katie Von Schleicher, Chuck Johnson (pedal steel), Joseph Shabason (saxophone), Macie Stewart (violin), Cole Kamen-Green (trumpet), Kitba (harp), and percussionists Levy Lorenzo and Will Shore.The songs follow a character through a night of intoxication and memory, while beneath their surfaces run questions of family, identity, and aging. “It’s a midlife record,” Birnbaum offers: “One can’t be disappointed without having first hoped for everything.” The trilogy concludes in 2027.

Shipping, Local Pick Up, Returns & Cancellations Policies.

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

LOCAL PICK UP POLICY:

Due to a large amount of unclaimed local pick ups over the years we have updated our policy. Any orders that remain unclaimed after 90 days from the initial "ready for pick up" notification will be considered abandoned and returned to our system without refund. If you are having issues picking up your order within this time frame please contact us via orders@1234gorecords.com. If you need your order shipped we can easily do so for an added shipping fee.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
