Their sound’s changed a bit since I last saw them open for The Walkmen, and I like the direction in which they’re going. It was a good fit with White Rabbits‘ sound.

And speaking of the White Rabbits’ sound: wow. I was already a huge fan of their new album, It’s Frightening, and the live show only served to solidify that. The drumming will stop you in your tracks, and I love the use of the upright piano.

Brilliant. It was one of those shows where I walked in a little afraid that my expectations were too high, but walked out with them greatly exceeded.
