i finally got my hands on the debut album 'horehound' from the dead weather after hassling poor sophie for a long longgg time.
the dead weather consists of the musical genius jack white on drums & vocals (a little odd, white has always been a leading man) from the white stripes and the sabotuers, the lady with the voice i envy - alison mosshart of the fucking kills doing vocals, jack lawrence playing bass from the sabotuers and dean fertita on guitar of the sabotuers and currently of queens of the stone age. this ahmazzzinggg combination reflect on the album, you can hear each band member's influence.
the collarboration of these brilliant musicians happened on the kills/sabotuers tour (in two shows the black keys played instead of the sabotuers, kinda wishing i lived in britain last summer for these gigs...) when white got bronchitus, having mosshart step in for vocals in the sabotuers. tadah, here was the initial birth of the dead weather.
'hang you from the heavens', ze first single and film clip.
'60 feet tall' - i think this song is particularly influenced by mosshart, having a particular kills sound. if i was to hear this on the radio, initially i'd jump to the conclusion the kills have released a new album.
hands down 'i cut like a buffalo' is the most addictive track on the album, with it's reggae feel and such.
'bone house'
'treat me like your mother' in which triple j have been flogging.
