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. www.whiterabbitsmusic.com

Red Hot
Spoon contributed a song entitled "Well-Alright" to a new Red Hot compilation called Dark Was The Night, which was just released worldwide on 4AD. This album is composed of 31 exclusive tracks by different bands and is available as a double cd or a triple vinyl (or a download.) It benefits the Red Hot Organization – an international charity dedicated to raising money and awareness for HIV and AIDS.
