White Rabbits | Bowery Ballroom
After emerging with the promising, propulsive “Fort Nightly” in 2007, the once-multi-frontmanned Brooklyn-via-Missouri sextet White Rabbits has reigned in its sound, focusing on singer-percussionist-pianist Steve Patterson. Compelling follow-up “It's Frightening” gets helped along with production from Spoon's Britt Daniel, who shares the band's taste for quirk and melody. Cohesive and undeniably energetic, this LP should appeal to those Radiohead listeners who are fans of off-the-wall rockers like “Idioteque”; White Rabbits don't just share a label with that megaband, but a love of off-kilter guitar licks and punctuated keyboard fills. With ARMS and Caveman. SEE COMPLETE GALLERY
