White Rabbits are preparing to drop It's Frightening, their sophomore album for May 19. When I first stumbled across the listing for this record somewhere on the Internet, I noticed that whoever posted about it said that White Rabbits enlisted the help of Britt Daniel of Spoon as producer. That explains a lot.
At first the two bands produced relatively original and different sounds, but were tied by their use of rock piano and similar vocal parts. By all means I think Daniel is part of the superior band (they have the advantage of a good group of albums in their repertoire ), but the Spoon influence is too obvious. And beyond that, "Lionesse" is a huge rip-off over every dramatic 007 theme song remake.
The vocals sound even more alike, the drumwork too similar, but White Rabbits to manage to pull out an original track here or there.
Stand-out track (single): "Percussion Gun"
