It\u2019s been over a decade since I\u2019ve been to Brooklyn. If I were to visit again now, I have to imagine every third person I\u2019d pass on the street would be a member of an indie rock band with a decent amount of credibility. It\u2019s perhaps the headquarters for every band with ties to someone who was on Letterman (there\u2019s no doubt plenty of impressive music originates from there, though, of course, as does plenty of mediocrity.)<\/p>\n
Then there\u2019s White Rabbits, who already have two glorious LPs under their belt and just dropped Milk Famous,<\/i> a highly anticipated disc for not only for those adorning ironic mustaches but rock \u2018n\u2019 roll fans alike. Starting off with \u201cHeavy Metal,\u201d White Rabbits channel their inner indie funk with some very Spoon-like swagger in the form of keyboard loops, groove filled bass lines, and punchy pop rock. From there, the pop sensibilities seep in, often sounding nostalgic though they also stock plenty of sonic, futuristic moments in their arsenal.<\/p>\n
\u201cDanny Come Inside\u201d and \u201cHold It To The Fire\u201d could have been outtakes from OK Computer<\/i> or King Of Limbs<\/i> while \u201cI\u2019m Not Me,\u201d with it\u2019s reckless pianos, brings late period The Beatles to mind. The disc closes on one of the strongest tracks, \u201cI Had It Coming,\u201d blending acoustic guitar, piano, and wild percussion with repetitive wordplay in a dream-like haze that leaves the listener wanting more.<\/p>\n
In a perfect world, every indie disc would use Milk Famous<\/i> as a blueprint. Creative, compelling, and a swirling blend of synth and quirky guitar work, there\u2019s a familiar energy here yet still with an identity that firmly belongs to only White Rabbits. The band really knows how to channel their playful moodiness into song, and if there\u2019s any justice in the world, one day Natalie Portman will be remarking that White Rabbits, well, they could change your life, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":30935,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[8835],"rating":[5613],"class_list":["post-42614","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-white-rabbits","rating-rating-a-minus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/42614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/89"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42614"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/42614\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=42614"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=42614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
