The White Stripes have, of course, called it a day. A shame, but the opportunity for Jack White to continue to produce more awesome stuff. I think I prefered The Raconteurs to The Dead Weather (odd, because I love Alison Mosshart’s work as half of The Kills), and I’m really enjoying the first two tracks to emerge to the hoi polloi of his forthcoming solo album Blunderbuss, out on April 23.

This is called ‘Sixteen Saltines’ -and it sounds great.

This, meanwhile, is the video for ‘Love Interruption’ which also sounds great to these ears, and very different indeed.

Meanwhile, if you haven’t seen the tracklisting for the album, it is as follows:

‘Missing Pieces’
‘Sixteen Saltines’
‘Freedom At 21’
‘Love Interruption’
‘Blunderbuss’
‘Hypocritical Kiss’
‘Weep Themselves To Sleep’
‘I’m Shakin”
‘Trash Tongue Talker’
‘Hip (Eponymous) Poor Boy’
‘I Guess I Should Go To Sleep’
‘On And On And On’
‘Take Me With You When You Go’
