"I really don't know too much about the indie band The White Rabbits, but I did fell for the 4 tracks on their Daytrotter session from back in 2007. Energetic, enthusiastic but still urgent and ominous (plus a Randy Newman cover thrown in!) The song "untitled" is the standout by far.

Fast forward to 2009 and they have a new album, produced by Britt Daniels from spoon - which is great, right? Except I'm not yet convinced he didn't exert too much influence on them ... even perhaps extending to the record cover.

That said, it's still a solid, sometimes excellent, record. They're headlining Wednesday night at Empty Bottle.

Here's the link to the first track off "It's Frightening."

Wow, if you really posted this at 4am, then I see what you mean about being busy!

I highly recommend their Daytrotter sessions, as well: http://www.daytrotter.com/dt/white-rabbits-concert/20030137-110758.html
