New White Rabbits: It’s Frightening
Brooklyn’s White Rabbits crafted one of my favorite albums in 2007 — their debut record, Fort Nightly. Since then, they’ve toured pretty consistently, monopolizing audience attention everywhere they go. Not long ago, it was revealed that Spoon‘s Britt Daniel was producing their forthcoming album — an announcement that ignited further hype for a band that had become largely synonymous with being on the road.
With the May 19 release of It’s Frightening on TBD Records fast approaching, we now have album opener, Percussion Gun,
to whet our appetites. Beginning with what sounds like hobbit laughter, the track quickly lives up to its title with bludgeoning drums and the band’s aggressive vocal styling. There was always a noticeable Spoon similarity in Fort Nightly, but no previous awareness of the band is necessary to notice it here. Daniel’s hands are all over this and with stunning results.

White Rabbits play the High Noon Saloon June 30 with another great Brooklyn band, the Harlem Shakes — easily one of my most anticipated shows of the year thus far. There is currently a White Rabbits video in the works. While we wait for that, let’s relive this gem from Fort Nightly, The Plot
