Smack Bunny Baby is the debut album from the band Brainiac, released in 1993 via Grass Records.[1][5] Along with its successor Bonsai Superstar, Smack Bunny Baby is currently out-of-print and the copyright is now owned by The Bicycle Music Company.[6] It is the only album by the group to feature founding guitarist Michelle Bodine.
The LP edition of the album includes the track "Velveteen" that's not found of the CD edition. Also, an unknown amount of LP copies were pressed on turquoise-marbled vinyl.
Critical reception
Spin included the album on its 1993 "10 Best Albums of the Year You Didn't Hear" list, calling it "a noisy little devil that benefits greatly from a fondness for Moog synth and a good ear for (buried) melody."[7]
