Thunderous drums, trembling piano and a wailing voice shook the Divisadero’s Independent Theatre on Saturday night. White Rabbits‘ latest effort, It’s Frightening, was produced by Britt Daniel of Spoon fame, and its cover depicts a motion blurred-out young man whaling on drums. It proved to be quite accurate as at several moments in the show there were two or more individuals lambasting the poor drumkit. What a beautiful amount of noise.

Centered around epic percussion and the song writing of Stephen Patterson, White Rabbits are an odd blend of singing that can sound like Cake coupled with music theory that has an angular, baroque Muse-like feel to it. Britt Daniel’s influence can be heavily felt in the arrangements, while retaining the bands earlier sound; it’s a nice evolution. Check out the video of Saturday’s show below, and be sure to pick up Fort Nightly and the new It’s Frightening.
