Note: The Dead Weather is a new band/project that consists of Jack White (The White Stripes, The Raconteurs) on drums and some lead and background vocals, Alison Mosshart (The Kills) on most lead vocals, Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs) on bass and Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age) on guitar.
Sound: A grimy, sweaty, raw and dangerous mix of sludgy blues and experimental indie rock that features lots of sexually charged vocals and distorted guitars and synthesizers.
Heavy Rotation tracks: “I Cut Like a Buffalo”; “Treat Me Like Your Mother”
Medium Rotation tracks: “Hang You from the Heavens”; “3 Birds”; “New Pony” (a cover of the 1978 Bob Dylan song from the album Street Legal).
Recommended: All of these musicians have produced more accomplished songs and albums in the past – they really just threw this whole thing together in a few weeks – but Horehound has a ragged, loose and unpredictable energy that makes for a sinfully enjoyable listen.
