White Rabbits came to New York from the midwest. For their first record, they managed to catch the attention of Say Hey Records and producer Chris Zane (Shy Child, Asobi Seksu, Les Savy Fav). Their second album, "It's Frightening," was produced by Britt Daniel (Spoon).
Lead by dual vocalists, Greg Roberts (Guitar / Vox) and Steve Patterson (Piano / Vox), the 6 piece is rounded out by Alex Even (Guitar / Vox), Brian Betancourt (Bass), Matt “The Duck” Clark (Drums) and Jamie Levinson (Drums). With a certain joie de vive, playfulness and charm White Rabbits thematically evoke the more decadent and bygone era of days spent on the green, old cinemas “Tourist Trap”, tragic mothers “Navy Wives”, and restrained, but no less awkward domestic disputes, with the first single, “The Plot.”
Added to their arsenal are 3 part vocal harmonies that texture the album throughout. White Rabbits even showcase the occasional group chant, best exampled on Fort Nightly’s opening track “Kid On My Shoulders”. White Rabbits’ penchant for more tropical excursions such as on “I Used To Complain Now I Don’t”, featuring the horns of Beirut’s (Jon Natchez), are, at times, reminiscent of The Specials or Madness.
Their sets have gained the band a large and growing audience and led them to share bills with Peter Bjorn & John, The Fiery Furnaces, The Walkmen, Richard Swift and others.

Don't even sound I'm coming
Soon you'll have a
Everywhere you're going
So come on nowhere do I own

Oh we should we always
Just give me, inside
Just feel, to get that feelin'
Even that feelin'
Givin' that feelin'
Givin' that feeling
Given that feeling

The lyrics for White Rabbit's "Danny Come Inside" are difficult to interpret in a traditional sense as they appear to lack structure and coherence. It appears as if the song is a stream of consciousness essay-like structure as each sentence flows into one another.
However, there are a few clues tucked into the lyrics that suggest themes of ownership, independence, and self-discovery. The line "So come on nowhere do I own, Where do I" hints at a struggle with finding one's place in the world and understanding what belongs to them. The lines "You want to know, Yeah you got a, You want you to know" could suggest a desire to understand oneself and have control over their own life. The repetition of "Givin' that feelin'" could indicate a longing for emotional connection, either with oneself or with others.
