Wednesday, 20 February 2008White Rabbits - While we go dancing White Rabbits While We Go Dancing Fierce Panda Records Quantity Pressed: Not Specified Release Date: 17/3/ 2008 The White Rabbits are touring with the Walkmen, starting in NY in March and there couldn't be a more perfect match. They share the strength in vocals, literally turning every verse into a yelling crescendo of energy gathering speed, in tracks like 'The Plot' and this single 'While we go dancing'. The blending harmony you're hearing is from three singers, that's not layers of tracking, it's three people singing together, along with two people or more at any time drumming, and the standard two people playing guitars, its a unique ensemble for sure.. bent on atypical rhythms for rocking and bringing the live noise. This is still a little less than a month away and there's no word on what's planned for the B-side, but keep this in mind for a mid March release. On the cover of this single they are carrying a piano across a river, that valuable piano sound is responsible for the melody backbone in every track. It's classic elements like these that ground the songwriting immediately in a familiar place, mashing up of all kinds of sounds, and holding your attention. It can be at times the pop harmony of the Beach boys and at others the rough pop constructed out of these unfamilar places like Spoon. It will definitely keep you listening from one track to the next on their solid first album 'Fort Nightly'. Like NYC, they are taking these varied influences and cultures and letting them seep into the sound coming from windows in Brooklyn... a salsa influenced rhythm with woodblocks, reggae guitar in between beats... all culminating in epic swinging moments like the last night of the block party, street fair and molding the pieces into their pop vision. Can't wait to hear what's in store for the B-side....I hope it's some unreleased gem of more signature borderline pop/world music. Jason Dean Labels: fierce panda records, fort nightly, white rabbits
