White Rabbits - It's Frightening

Review by Paul Brown

In an age where unfathomable amounts of music are but a click away, I fear White Rabbits might be destined to be one of those bands which fade meekly into the background.»

brooklyn sextet white rabbits' second album 'it's frightening' is definitely one for fans of experimental sonic decoration. it has a spontaneous, loose and live sound in the vein of an okkervil river or delta spirit folk-rock record, but what sets this piano and percussion-heavy indie collective apart is the eerie murmurs, white noise and sense of space that they creatively incorporate into each track. the intricate, scrap-bookish vibe is unsurprising given the album's producer, britt daniel of spoon. everywhere you listen there's a creaky door being slammed, a snare being tapped in a distant hallway or an oddball production flourish. brilliant instrumental 'lionesse' (snowman fans take note) and the janglier 'they done me wrong / we done wrong' are addictive cases in point.
