The Onion (A.V. Club)

Rarely has the Inferno sounded this inviting.

Pitchfork

It's a great debut for a band with an impressive, distinctive sound.

Village Voice

Nearly embarrassing levels of enthusiasm, sincerity, and energy inform Fort Nightly, the band's surprisingly meaty debut.

Q Magazine

Pick of the bunch is 'March of the Camels,' which marries a doomy baseline with children's choir backing vocals, and exemplifies their gift for the surreal. [Apr 2008, p.117]

All Music Guide

As lyrically eclectic and clever as it is musically, this is one fascinating album.

PopMatters

The White Rabbits’ Fort Nightly hijacks the ear and never lets go as it saunters, bursts and recoils with a fusion of ska, tango tweaked guitar riffs and shouts edging toward desperation.

Prefix Magazine

What makes Fort Nightly rise above the dance-rock pack is an ear for writing immediately catchy songs.

Under The Radar

Fort Nightly has some strong moments, but much of it is hit and miss. [Summer 2007, p. 86]

Uncut

there's a bit too much scene-setting and not enough storyline, but overall this is some rollicking debut. [May 2008, p.113]

matt a. gave it an8:
Very solid debut. nearly as good as Spoon's new record, and I only make the comparison because they have a similar sound.

Korinne gave it a9:
A unique and inventive album! I found myself waking up the next morning, singing refrains in my head. The music is meaty yet playful. I would highly recommend!

Scaught B gave it a9:
Holy hell. Now THIS is how you make your entrance in the indie rock scene. This is such a great sounding well rounded debut rock album. I can't wait to see what else these guys have in store.

Scott gave it a9:
This album normally would be something I hate. Yet I love it. I didn't understand it. So I played it over and over until I just loved it. These sorts of albums don't happen often people, so pick this one up.

Greg gave it a10:
Really really really great album. Even more impressive that it's a debut. These guys have a well formed sound and I look forward to seeing where they go in the future.
