According to soundgenerator.com With James Brown's passing, Jack White seems to have successfully taken over the mantle of 'hardest working man in show business', confirming plans for a new White Stripes album today.
White has been on the road much of the last year, and before that, recording the debut set with his side-project The Raconteurs. Somehow during this time, he found time to hook up with Meg White and write tracks for the band's sixth album.
The follow-up to 2005's "Get Behind Me Satan", "Icky Thump" is set for release later this year, and will be backed with a big tour.
"We are doing our best (whatever that is) to release the album as soon as corporately possible", the band's statement reads, revealing how the set was recorded at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN.
"And though we are tired, worn, weary, hungry, cold and left without an ounce of nutrition amongst ourselves, we are in the midst of planning performance type shows around the world."
"It was the longest time the delightful duo have ever spent in the studio, totalling almost three weeks. Jack and Meg were said to have been looking like they were 'into it almost'. And even Meg herself was quoted while leaving a local Nashville laundromat saying that the record was, in her best estimate, 'finished', 'musical in nature' and lastly, though slightly muffled, 'good'."
Track titles include "Catch Hell Blues", "Little Cream Soda", "Rag And Bone", "Clicky Bump", "You Don't Know What Love Is (Just Do As You're Told)", "I'm Slowly Turning Into You".
