{music monday} White Stripes Spin-off : The Dead Weather
The Dead Weather : Horehound
Steeped in goth-blues and heavy rock with electric R&B thrown in; it is definitely in it’s own category. Jack White’s newest foursome includes the Kills Alison Mosshart (love her!), Jack Lawrence and Dean Fertita. Hang You from the Heavens is awesome. Her voice is such a nice addition! The mix on I Cut Like a Buffalo is a little too off the chart for my liking, but everything is so different, so musically experimental while still rocking. Total success on this album that was recorded in the blink of an eye. White is on drums and mixes vocals with Mosshart, you won’t be able to tell them apart. You will also hear keyboard-bass and an organ throughout.
All in all, I totally recommend checking out this album. It is new, fresh and worth the time. Ultimately, this is just a side project, so don’t expect much more. I hope to check them out at the Wiltern on 8.25.09–see you there and say hey!
