About Me

Our new record, Ideal Lives, is out now on Frenchkiss Records. Order it!
New Video for the "10,000 Horses"
Now, read nice things that nice folks have said about our band:
Spin - With their debut full-length, Ideal Lives, the band accomplishes one of the most difficult things in the world of music: They move their sound forward and incorporate more of their influences without abandoning their earlier sonic identity.
Pitchfork - It's Rahim's exquisite attention to counterintuitive detail, revivifying a genre that's been teetering on the verge of depletion for years.
Delusions of Adequacy - " Rahim picks up where bands of the past have left off and where bands of the present can never seem to genuinely pick up."
PopMatters - "Rahim is something of a rarity -- a good band now that promises to get even better later."
Prefix - "If Jungles presented the formula, Ideal Lives gives us the answer."
URB - "****"
Indieworkshop - "...an original statement from an evolving band."
New York Magazine - "Rahim released a debut album, Ideal Lives, that is subtle, well executed, and critically acclaimed if not a mainstream success."
NPR- Angular, skittering rock with a creamy centre.
