Music: Rock/Pop Brooklyn Next presents White Rabbits

  • White-rabbits_large

Although White Rabbits' debut, Fort Nightly, wriggled onto countless 2007 year-end lists (and with good reason), the sextet's Carribbean-fried Walkmen-isms were born for the stage. The Rabbits are stunning musicians and showmen to match, with aggressively tickled ivories, dueling lead singers, and layer upon layer of percussion. It's a study in instrumental excess, to be sure — does any band really need two drummers? — but the group inhabits a correspondingly decadent made-up world, where Gatsby-era accoutrements (old-timey suits and hats, lyrics about social niceties gone rotten) adorn dark, catchy indie-pop tunes. Shockingly funky R&B throwbacks Miss Fairchild open.
