White Cowboy

What has Jack White been up to lately?

Well, just what he does best...making music in his own unclassifiable genre of alternative indie rock. He's back with a new project titled The Dead Weather which includes himself, The Kills' Alison Mosshart, Raconteurs' Jack Lawrence, and Queens of the Stone Age, Dean Fertita. Their debut album, Horehound, was released last week (July 14th) and kicks off with the single Hang You Up from the Heavens.

However, the real gem from this project is the video for the song, Treat Me Like Your Mother, produced by Jonathan Glazer...The mock shoot-out between White and Mosshart shot with choppy sequences and slower motions really capture the essence the firing machine guns. And that paired with the rock riffs - definitely give to artistic precision and creativity, making for a quite deliciously pimp 4 1/2 minutes. Both music videos make listening to the songs well worth it because without them I'm not sure how long the songs can hold there own for those not a part of White's cult following.
