THE WHITE STRIPES 'ICKY THUMP' 2LP

LABEL: Third Man Records
VINYL RELEASE DATE: 6/10/2022
ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 2007
VARIANT: Black Vinyl 2LP

With it's title an Americanization of the Northern British phrase "ecky thump" and it's cover featuring Jack and Meg bedecked as a Pearly King and Queen, "Icky Thump" is a centered, powerful statement as the final studio album from the duo. Recorded in the lush environs of Nashville's Blackbird Studios, the trumpet, bagpipes and 1940's synthesiser all feel appropriate here, driving home the idea that The White Stripes were consistent through whatever disparate elements they chose.
