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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
