Mar 7, 2012Milk Famous is consistent in the one way White Rabbits needs to be: At all times, it's adventurous.
-
Mar 15, 2012The band's third album, Milk Famous, returns to the twitchy dance-rock that made this Brooklyn group such an unstoppable opening act, folding in dashes of Talking Heads' jitter-pop and some blackened post-punk tautness.
-
Mar 12, 2012In lieu of memorable choruses, indie nerds will enjoy this disc of earthy space-pop as a complete experience without any aesthetic hiccups.
-
Mar 7, 2012The sonic growth and confidence White Rabbits display here prove they're moving in the right direction.

Mar 7, 2012Far more nuanced and textured than its two predecessors, it sounds all the better for it.

-
Entertainment WeeklyMar 16, 2012Producer Mike McCarthy amps up the dour electronics to welcome, propulsive effect. [16 Mar 2012, p.69]
-
Mar 9, 2012White Rabbits have made a record that is truly their own, so much so that at points it hurts the record.
-
Apr 23, 2012Listening to Milk Famous is like playing a game of connect-the-dots. Running free with eclectic percussion sounds and choppy piano riffs, this album is where blue-eyed soul, Radiohead, Spoon, punk, and ska revival all come out to play, and surprisingly, all these sounds play nice together-this album is a satisfying musical experience.
-
Mar 13, 2012The collaborators are rubbing off in the best way, and the bulk of these tunes are not second-rate imitations, but fully realized--and seriously catchy--originals.
-
Mar 8, 2012White Rabbits concoct something both contemporary, cultish and catchy as a cod net.
-

-
Q MagazineApr 25, 2012Issues of assimilation aside, [sounding similar to Spoon] the songs are excellent. [May 2012, p.109]
-
Mar 12, 2012Their third album deepens the rockist intentions with a track called "Heavy Metal" and a sound that's like Spoon or Fountains of Wayne dipped in distracted keyboard/noise-guitar ooze.
-
Mar 7, 2012While captivatingly evil at points, the absence of the hooks that made It's Frightening so exceptional can make Milk Famous a difficult match.
-
Mar 8, 2012Milk Famous falters by creating an Uncanny Valley effect by adopting the most easily replicable aspects [of Spoon's sound] without maintaining any sort of human element or offering anything that's identifiable as their own.
-
Apr 27, 2012The Kasabian-ish 'Danny Come Inside', with its predatory stride, and the tautly atmospheric 'Had It Coming' are rallying gear shifts; disappointingly, the remainder of 'Milk Famous' seems to be on cruise control.
