It's official - white is the new black.
After Black Mountain, Black Angels, Black Dice, Black Keys, and Blackety Blackety Black Black (they're HUGE in Oslo), now we're into whites: White Williams, White Rainbow, White Stripes, Barry White, and your new favourite band - White Rabbits.
Coming atcha from NYC via Columbia Missouri (which they deserted a short two years ago), White Rabbits wield catchy, urgent indie pop ala The Walkmen or French Kicks, but mix in some second-wave ska and tango tinges. Skinny tie pop with carnival keyboards? You got it.
This is seriously fun stuff that doesn't take itself at all seriously, and it's catchy as hell. One spin and these Rabbits will be in your head for good. White on!!
