JACK WHITE‘s main band these days is THE DEAD WEATHER, and today they finally announced their third album, Dodge & Burn. It will feature four songs that have already been released on 7″ vinyl through WHITE’s label Third Man Records’s Vault Club, but there are also eight brand new songs as well.
The band, which features WHITE on drums, Alison Mosshart (also of the Kills) on vocals, Jack Lawrence (also of the Greenhornes, and a bandmate of White’s in the Raconteurs), and Dean Fertita (also of Queens of the Stone Age) on guitar and keyboards, will not be touring for the album. A press release, however, offers that “Thankfully the thick and heavy Dodge & Burn will satisfy your urges for the dark magic that is The Dead Weather for a very long time.”
The no-touring thing shouldn’t come as a surprise, as WHITE recently said after the completion of his recent solo tour, that he’s taking a long break from the road.
The album will be out September 25.
