White Rabbits: Milk Famous Third Album Out March 6 On tbd Records


Brooklyn-based, Missouri-bred White Rabbits have unveiled "Heavy Metal," the opening track of the eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2009's critically acclaimed It's Frightening (hailed by Jon Pareles of THE NEW YORK TIMES as "an American sound that fortifies its brains with muscle"). The band's third album, Milk Famouswill be released March 6 on tbd Records (with a limited edition colored vinyl release March 13 on White Iris) and will consist of the following songs:

Heavy Metal
I'm Not Me
Hold It To The Fire
Everyone Can't Be Confused
Temporary
Are You Free
It's Frightening
Danny Come Inside
Back For More
The Day You Won The War
I Had It Coming

The bulk of Milk Famous was recorded over the course of 2011 in Austin TX, and produced by Mike McCarthy with the exception "Back For More," which was produced by the band's own Stephen Patterson and Alex Even and recorded last November at Meth Beach in Philadelphia.

Milk Famous' release will also be preceded by first single "Temporary."

With a live performance described by ESQUIRE as one of "9 Shows A Man Should See," White Rabbits have confirmed their first dates of 2012. They will be joined by The War On Drugs and Tennis on select dates.
