Details on the new White Stripes album Icky Thump
The White Stripes will release their sixth album, "Icky Thump," on
Third Man/Warner Bros. Records on June 19th.
Icky Thump was recorded over three weeks at Blackbird Studio in Nashville and
is the second longest album of The White Stripes. How's that for an important
and interesting stat! The name "Icky Thump" apparently comes from
the northern English expression "ecky thump," which is used as an
exclamation of surprise. Now, we've never been fans of this band, but we'll
refrain from poking fun at them until we actually hear the record. Then we'll
tell you how much it sucks! Okay, we're sorry...
Back to the record, then. The title track will be the first single on the album. "Conquest" is a cover, inspired by Patti Page's version from the 1950s. "St. Andrew" features the vocals of drummer Meg White. Their first spoken word track is "Rag And Bone" -- again, we'll hold off with the jokes for a little while...

1. Icky Thump
