delmarkurt Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 From www.whitestripes.com:Hello to all the Candy Cane Children in the land, The White Stripes have completed the recording and mixing of their sixth album. It is entitled: Icky Thump and is their first album to include a title track, which curiously (and not ironically) has the same words in it's [sic] name. Though some residents of northern England might almost recognize the title, the Stripes stress they are spelling it wrong intentionally just for "kicks" and "metaphors," and to avoid a possible lawsuit from the estate of Billy Eckstine. The record was recorded in Nashville at Blackbird Studio. And word around the sewing circle is that many of your favorite White Stripe type songs may not be your favorite (pronounced favaright) White Stripe type songs for long. Some song titles include: Catch Hell Blues Little Cream SodaMonkeys Have It Easy (discarded)Rag and BoneClicky Bump (retitled into something pleasant)Blue Orchid (relocated to previous album)You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told) It was the longest time the delightful duo have ever spent in the studio, totaling almost three weeks. Jack and Meg were said to have been looking like they were "into it almost." And even Meg herself was quoted while leaving a local Nashville Laundromat saying that the record was, in her best estimate; "finished," "musical in nature" and lastly, though slightly muffled, "good." The Stripes will be releasing a statement soon saying: "we are doing our best (whatever that is) to release the album as soon as corporately possible. And though we are tired, worn, weary, hungry, cold, and left without an ounce of nutrition amongst ourselves, we are in the midst of planning performance type shows around the world." http://www.whitestripes.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
