Jack White has always been kind of hit or miss with me. I really dig on a couple of the older White Stripes albums, and the man is a vinyl enthusiast's vinyl enthusiast, and even if he's not your bag, you have to admit he's got talent flowing from every pore, but sometimes his brand of blues indebted rock just doesn't do it for me. Sometimes it sounds redundant to me. That being said, new single "Connected by Love," from the upcoming "Boarding House Reach" LP sounds like nothing he's ever done before while totally still sounding like something in his regular repertoire. And it's kind of weird. And i dig it. Synths and organs and blues and gospel and guitar stomp and piano balladry all in one big pot. Check out the video below. And check out the album art above. There's some serious Marc Almond shit going on in that thing. It's cool. The record is out March 23rd on Third Man.
