6 Britt spent the past three months producing the new album by Brooklyn’s White Rabbits, which he tells me “was like summer camp, only in the dead of winter, in Brooklyn, with a bunch of chain-smokers.” The record was mixed in January with longtime Spoon collaborator Mike McCarthy and it comes out on tbd Records on May 19. http://www.whiterabbitsmusic.com
