The Dead Weather Artist Snapshot:

Formed in 2009, the Dead Weather is the second all-star side project from Jack White. Featuring the Kills' Alison Mosshart on lead vocals, Raconteur Jack Lawrence on bass, Dean Fertita on guitar, and White on drums, the band trades in a similar fuzz-and-stomp style to that of the White Stripes, but it's Mosshart's devilish vocals that give the band it's unique identity. That and the fact that the newly minted guitar god White pounds the skins here as well. The band's debut appeared on White's own Third Man label.

Review

Alternative Press (p.126) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "There's no denying the quartet know how to work a mighty groove as well as set up atmospheres similar to bands remanded to the faded pages of old record-collecting magazines."

Title Note

The Dead Weather, which combines the talents of Jack White, Jack Lawrence (Raconteurs), Alison Mosshart (Kills), and Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age, Raconteurs), aren't so much concerned with living up to expectations as they are about defying them. There's a different kind of alchemy on this 2009 release than on any of the bandmembers' other projects. Not only does White returns to his first instrument, the drums, he also trades in the high-pitched yelp he uses with the Stripes and Raconteurs for a deeper, at times unrecognizable, voice on "I Cut Like a Buffalo," the lone Horehound track he wrote by himself. The Dead Weather's sound isn't so much heavy as it is thick with a tense atmosphere that's sustained throughout most of the album, and the group shuns the tighter structures of their other bands for a bluesy, jammy grind.

This loose-limbed immediacy often feels like a particularly inspired rehearsal, especially on the cover of Bob Dylan's "New Pony," which gets amped up with huge grungy riffs and shouted backing vocals. This looseness also allows the band to indulge flights of fancy like the instrumental "3 Birds" and the menacing surf-jazz of "Rocking Horse." Given the fact that the Dead Weather formed on a whim and recorded these songs in a matter of weeks, this is a pretty compelling album, and one that shows that the band's members bring out the best in each other, albeit in unexpected ways.
