Editorial Reviews

Based in new york city, white rabbits have been together for close to two years and already managed to catch the attention of an critics and fans alike with their stellar songwriting ability and instrumental aplomb. Their debut album, 'fortnightly' draws influence from the latter-day sounds of the specials, the blue-eyed soul of the style council and aztec camera, the bombast of classic girl groups and the rhythms of old calypso and afro-beat records. Internationally the band have just signed a deal with tbd records whose only other artist is none other than radiohead. They celebrated by hitting the road with spoon and the walkmen on a national us tour. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Album of 2007 (so far), May 23, 2007

The most exciting indie release I've heard all year, and if you can believe it, they are even better live! For fans of Spoon, Walkmen (although these are a stretch as WR have originality up the wahzoo, just points of reference really). Lots of great drums (two drummers!), enticing guitars and pounding keys. In all the wonderful noise the amazing thing is that the lyrics all stand out and the melodies are cathy as hell. You'll be bouncing along from start to finish. Take a chance on this, I promise you won't be let down. High points are "Kid On My Shoulders","The Plot","While We Go Dancing" and "I Used To Complain, Now I Don't".

I saw White Rabbits live in Chicago this summer, and they were amazing. Almost every member played multiple instruments throughout the set. You could tell they were having fun doing what they do.

Fort Nightly, their debut album, sounds just like their live shows. To me it sounds like a tropical Wolf Parade. I've been listening to it constantly since I bought it; it's fantastic.

I'm always looking for new music. White Rabbits is simply amazing. I definetely recomend this album for every single fan of alternative music. This is pure rock greatness. Best debut since Arcade Fire's Funeral. Best tracks the plot, tourist trap and while we go dancing, but really, just get the whole album because is a great secuence of music. You have to listen to it entirely. Peace
