“No Name” happens to be the most straightforward rock & roll album Jack White has delivered in some time, a set of 13 tough guitar-based tunes with an abundance of swagger and a kick that melds the punky minimalism of the White Stripes with his well-documented obsession with Led Zeppelin. An enthusiastic return to the familiar, though it doesn’t play like a regression so much as an artist embracing their strengths and having a good time doing so.
‘No Name’ is the sixth studio album from Jack White, founding member of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather. True to his DIY roots, this record was recorded at White’s Third Man Studio throughout 2023 and 2024, and released by Third Man Records. Following the surprise limited release on blue vinyl at the start of August, standard CD and vinyl formats are officially released this week.
Jack White has shared a music video for his latest single, “That’s How I’m Feeling,” which is featured on his recent released album “No Name” (despite it being called “No Name,” it has a name, which is “No Name“—heady stuff!). The deceptively simple new track is built around a melodic bass line and guitar parts that dance around its steady undercurrent. “When I’m in my home, I need the strength to be alone,” White sings before the track goes boom and turns into a thrashy blues-rock banger.
White and his band have a number of new pop-ups occurring across the UK to supplement their tour dates in the area.
