Our Take

The White Stripes are back with their sophomore album, De Stijl, and oh boy, is it a trip down a psychedelic rabbit hole. Jack White's screeching guitar riffs paired with Meg White's simplistic yet powerful drumming create a sound that is truly unique and unforgettable.

From the opening track "You're Pretty Good Looking (For a Girl)", you know you're in for a wild ride. The blues-inspired rock sound is infectious, and you can't help but tap your foot along to the beat. Jack White's howling vocals add a layer of raw emotion to each song, making you feel every lyric to your core.

Tracks like "I'm Bound to Pack It Up" and "Hello Operator" show off the White Stripes' versatility, switching effortlessly from grungy garage rock to melodic ballads. The stripped-down production allows each instrument to shine, creating a raw and authentic sound that is missing from so much modern music.

But the real standout of De Stijl is the album's closer, "Death Letter". Clocking in at over seven minutes, this blues epic takes you on a journey through heartbreak and despair, culminating in a cacophony of distorted guitar and pounding drums that will leave you breathless.

In conclusion, De Stijl is a masterpiece of an album that showcases the White Stripes at the top of their game. It's raw, it's gritty, it's unapologetically weird - and we wouldn't have it any other way. Give it a listen, you won't regret it.

About the artist

The White Stripes

Ah, White Stripes - the dynamic duo that brought garage rock back into the mainstream with their raw energy and stripped-down sound. Formed in Detroit in 1997, the band consists of the enigmatic frontman Jack White on vocals and guitar, and his equally talented ex-wife, Meg White, on drums. Their minimalist approach to music is both refreshing and impressive, with Jack's fiery guitar licks and Meg's thunderous drumming creating a sound that is undeniably their own. Their signature red, white, and black colour scheme only adds to their mystique, giving them a visual identity that is as bold as their music. Their breakout album "White Blood Cells" in 2001 catapulted them into the mainstream, earning them critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase. Songs like "Fell in Love with a Girl" and "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" showcase Jack's songwriting prowess and Meg's instinctive drumming style. With a string of successful albums, including the Grammy-winning "Elephant" in 2003, the White Stripes have solidified their place in rock history as one of the most influential bands of the 21st century. Their music has inspired countless artists and continues to resonate with listeners of all ages. So, if you're looking for a band that will shake up your music collection and leave you wanting more, look no further than the White Stripes. They may have disbanded in 2011, but their music lives on, a testament to their enduring talent and undeniable charm.
