Jack White has stealth-released a new solo album that is only available at retail outlets of his Third Man Records in Detroit, Nashville and London.
The LP, which comes in an otherwise blank sleeve stamped with the letters “NO NAME” in his signature blue and the catalog number TMR-1000, is being given for free with any purchase, as reported by Detroit’s Metro Times. The paper noted that the album “sounds more stripped down and guitar-heavy” than White’s most recent releases, his “Fear of the Dawn” and “Entering Heaven Alive” albums, both released in 2022.
A different fan posted on social media, ““Five tracks in and so far this is the most White Stripesy solo release I’ve heard from Jack!”
A Detroit resident tells Variety that the area around Third Man Records in the city is “nuts.”
Reps for White and Third Man Records did not respond to Variety’s requests for comment, or apparently to other media outlets. Sources tell Variety that even store employees decline comment on the album, which is simply slipped into the bag with other purchases without comment.
