White Stripes’ Icky Thump Drops June 19th

Full details are finally available for the White Stripes’ sixth and second-longest album to date, Icky Thump. Set for release by Warner Bros. Records on June 19th, the LP promises to be the most “sonically bombastic” album of the duo’s career, and features tracks such as “St. Andrew (This Battle Is In The Air)” (with drummer Meg White on vocals), spoken-word track “Rag And Bone,” and “I’m Slowly Turning Into You,” inspired by a Michel Gondry video treatment.

The official cover art has also been released. Check out Stereogum for the story behind all those white buttons.

Jack and Meg will be among the performers at this year’s Bonnaroo festival, playing the Manchester, Tenn., festival on June 17th.
