Pre-orders are live for Jack White’s new album, Frozen Charlotte. The LP will arrive July 10 on Third Man Records, White’s own label. The news comes two years after he released the critically-acclaimed No Name, which made it onto our list of 2024’s best albums. That same year, Paste named White its Artist of the Year, with editor Matt Mitchell writing: “No Name arrives like an heirloom in White’s own sonic lineage—summoning the gassed-up vibrations of no-frills, no-nonsense, rocking-and-rolling bogs that turned the White Stripes into the kind of the band we all loved so deeply that, when Jack and Meg performed “White Moon” together on a backstage piano near the end of Under Great White Northern Lights, we cried with them.”
Frozen Charlotte lead single “Dollar Bill” taps into White’s familiar blues-rock penchant and clocks in at just under three minutes. The tune features his snarling vocal over a mad electric lick. “You can’t control me, unless you owe me / And you don’t own me, unless I own you,” he teases as the song roars toward a close. An online statement from White and Third Man read: “Recorded in White’s Third Man Studio in Nashville, this album shows Jack carrying on the same raucous, raw, and frenetic energy from his lauded 2024 album, No Name. 13 tracks of distinct feel and tone, Frozen Charlotte is an intense rock and roll punch with never far behind blues underpinnings… all of which fits right at home with long time fans while leaving an inviting open door to newcomers alike.”
The album’s cover art is a sculpture made by White himself; many of his pieces will be on display at his exhibition “These Thoughts May Disappear” at London’s Newport Street Gallery through September. Besides “Dollar Bill,” we’ve already heard two of the forthcoming tracks from Frozen Charlotte: White has already released “G.O.D.
