Rating: ecstatic This record left Kay Sandy feeling ecstatic.

This is a brilliant tune. Really brilliant. Good on the Young Turks (usually quite talented, though, at picking up great bands) for putting this out. It's sort of like the Walkmen mixed up with a high-speed train mixed up with a Carribean 50bpm lilt.

Inspiring stuff. I've checked out the album Fort Nightly too, it is excellent stuff. A cool Brooklyn band who I hope comes to London soon!

What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Maggie feeling happy.

Limited White Rabbits 7" now with 'The Plot' on the Young Turks records label (home of the much sought after Jack Penate debut single). It's kind of Indie rock with Turin Brakes style close harmony and whine with stomping marching beats and understated chorus. B-sides sounds like Supergrass and is the better song. Neither song ever really pick up into a big swing but seems to shimmy along with a interesting turns and theatrical posturing. bonne bonne.

What the label says:

White Rabbits, a Brooklyn six-piece, come to NYC via the arid plains of the Mid West. Although they have been in the City for just over a year, they have managed to catch the attention of Say Hey Records and producer Chris Zane (Shy Child, Asobi Seksu, Les Savy Fav) with their stellar songwriting ability and instrumental aplomb.
Lead by dual vocalists, Greg Roberts (Guitar / Vox) and Steve Patterson (Piano / Vox), the 6-piece is rounded out by Alex Even (Guitar / Vox), Adam Russell (Bass), Matt “The Duck” Clark (Drums) and Jamie Levinson (Drums).

With a certain joie de vive, playfulness and charm, White Rabbits thematically evoke the more decadent and bygone era of days spent on the green, old cinema. The band even showcases the occasional group chant best exampled on “Kid On My Shoulders”, as it thunders to its conclusion. The band also has a keen ear for the occasional cover song, and the old instrument switcheroo on stage. Anyone who has had the chance to see White Rabbits live will be able to appreciate first hand the joy and effervescence that they exude on stage. True camaraderie in fact. Their sets have gained the band a large and growing audience and led them to share bills with Peter Bjorn & John, The Walkmen, Richard Swift and others.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
