On May 30, 2007, Chicago radio station Q101 aired the entire album without the band's permission. Gondry also says that the video idea came first, and after mentioning the idea to Jack White, White wrote the song to fit that idea. Though some residents of northern England might almost recognize the title, the Stripes stress they are spelling it wrong intentionally just for "kicks" and "metaphors," and to avoid a possible lawsuit from the estate of Billy Eckstine.Įntertainment Weekly's online site had an interview with Michel Gondry in which he said he would be directing a video for "I'm Slowly Turning Into You". It is entitled Icky Thump, and is their first album to include a title track, which curiously (and not ironically) has the same words in it's name. The White Stripes have completed the recording and mixing of their sixth album. A statement on the band's official website (spuriously attributed to "Kitayna Ireyna Tatanya Kerenska Alisof" of the Moscow Bugle, a reference to the 1966 Batman film) humorously claims that: Jack White said that the album would appeal to fans of the band's self-titled debut, suggesting a stripped-down garage rock sound. Also, Chiccarelli said: "We spent a little more time than he is used to experimenting and trying different things on that album, whether it was different ways to record the drums or the vocals, or different arrangements, or cutting takes together." Trumpet player Regulo Aldama, who appears on "Conquest", was discovered by Jack White at a local Mexican restaurant. The recording differed from previous albums in that White had the comparative luxury of recording to 16-track analog rather than his usual 8-track. The album took almost three weeks to record-the longest of any White Stripes album. According to Chiccarelli in an interview with HitQuarters, the band had already rehearsed and demoed around half the album, with the rest being conceived in the studio. Icky Thump was recorded and mixed entirely in analog at Nashville's Blackbird Studio by Joe Chiccarelli.
Additionally, the album introduces Scottish folk music, avant-garde, trumpet, and bagpipes into the formula, whilst simultaneously reintroducing older characteristics such as the first studio recording of the early White Stripes song "Little Cream Soda". After Get Behind Me Satan, Icky Thump marks a return to the punk, garage rock and blues influences for which the band is known.
