Jack White is at it again! Yes it's true,even though he helped perfect the girl/guy rock duet the White Strips, annnnd is said to be the man behind the successful American rock band The Raconteurs, (formed prior to the White Stripes) it wasn’t enough. Jack’s new band Dead Weather is nothing like his two previous bands but is shaping up to be just as good. With lead vocalist Alison Mosshart from The Kills , Dead Weather has a smoky dark rock sound that makes you want to take female rock singers more seriously. The lyrics are intense and serious, so are the static buzzed guitar riffs and loose drum solos played by Jack. The over all effect is almost eery or fantastical.
Dead Weather is completely formed from other well known bands, with Mosshart (Kills), Jack Lawrence, the bassist from the Raconteurs, and guitarist Dean Fertita from Queens of the Stoneage. The band performs like true veterans who look like they’ve been together for years.
I have yet to make a complete judgement on Jack’s new project. Truthfully I wouldn’t mind him spending some time making music with Meg White again. Thus far I would have to say that was his best. I enjoy what Dead Weather has going for them, all members as separate entities are truly talented, so together I can only imagine the music they will produce. We will have to wait and see when the entire album comes out in June. Until then here is the first single “ Hang you from the Heavens” ssssing it Mosshart.
