Release date: 22-04-2010 2010 UK 11-track vinyl LP - Baton down the hatches! The Dead Weather are back. The Nashville-based 4-piece comprising Jack White, Alison Mosshart, Jack Lawrence & Dean Fertita, exploded onto the music scene in 2009 with their stunning debut. 'Horehound' was an exhilarating and electrifying introduction to the band, a gritty blues-driven dirge rock masterpiece. Now, less than a year later, the follow-up is ready to be unleashed. 'Sea Of Cowards' features the single, 'Die By The Drop'. Jack White-produced Set Features Great Sound and Gutbucket Rock Thrills Looser, More Ambitious and Flamboyant Effort Than Debut Tracks: 01. Blue Blood Blues 02. Hustle And Cuss 03. The Difference Between Us 04. I'm Mad 05. Die By The Drop 06. I Can't Hear You 07. Gasoline 08. No Horse 09. Looking At The Invisible Man 10. Jawbreaker 11. Old Mary No White Stripes? No problem. It's time to again get down with The Dead Weather. The latest musical adventure by Jack White (The White Stripes, The Raconteurs), epitomizes the alt-rock ethic: do the music you love, do it yourself, and do it fast. The Dead Weather brings together lead singer Alison Mosshart (half of the London-based lo-fi post-punk duo The Kills), Queens Of The Stone Age guitarist Dean Fertita, Raconteurs bassist Jack Lawrence, and White on drums and vocals. White also produced the group's debut album, Horehound, recorded in just three weeks earlier this year at his newly constructed Nashville studio. Coming hard and fast on the heels of its predecessor, the ceaselessly energetic Sea of Cowards is a robust and vigorous second act filled with primal, bone-quaking rock rhythms and the same stellar urban blues and throbbing sleaze. But this time, The Dead Weather push their sound even further, brilliantly building upon their raw chemistry to create one of the most vital sounding albums you’ll hear all year. Sea of Cowards pulls out all of the stops, and succeeds at being a daringly ambitious rock thrill ride. Better still, since White is involved, the sound is incredible. An avowed analog fanatic, he's again ensured that sonics are given as much care and attention as the music.
