The Dead Weather: Die By The Drop

-

Now that Jack White has broken out from his red and white pepperminty persona a little more, it’s interesting to see how dark and earthy he’s become. With “Die By The Drop,” new single from his OTHER side-project The Dead Weather, White combines his trademark "White" boy alterna-blues rock with Bat For Lashes occult-ish haunt, which is only helped by The Kills singer, Alison Mosshart.

The Mailbox Giveth: Sleaford Mods

Sleaford Mods Chubbed Up + Ipecac Recordings Released:11.29.14 Sleaford Mods is an interesting entity. Following much of the rhythmic and minimal throb of Factory-era post-punk and, of course, hip hop's rise from being a "sample sport," as Public Enemy once put it, to the largely trap-centric hit machine it is today, Sleaford Mods embodies a tirade-level synthesis of the two: a beat-powered device with which to bathe in poetic and profanity-laced commentary. The group (vocalist Jason Williamson and track maker Andrew Fearn ) gained some notoriety stateside with its 2013 release, Austerity Dogs , despite having been about five albums deep in its discography. The group's new release, Chubbed Up +, is a singles compilation that includes three previously unreleased tracks. It was released by Ipecac Recordings.
