The White Stripes have announced a loosely approximate street date for their sixth full-length studio LP, entitled Icky Thump.

Rest is for the weary, as they say. So just because Jack and Meg White are touring Europe doesn't mean they have time to relax. As such, the duo has announced the release of "The Denial Twist" as the latest single from Get Behind Me Satan. For the accompanying video, the Stripes have invited long-time collaborator and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind director, Michel Gondry. The band and Gondry (who many know from his lego-themed video for breakout hit "Fell in Love with a Girl") filmed the video in New York and based it around the week in 2003... read more

Recapturing the raw blues power and wattage of classic Zeppelin and Stones albums, White’s... read more
