Jack White "No Name"

Even before he formed Third Man Records, Jack White had perfected the art of the guerilla record drop – he once hid a bunch of seven inches inside re-upholstered sofas. But he’ll have to go some way to top the release strategy for his surprise sixth album – his first new music since 2022’s Fear Of The Dawn and Entering Heaven Alive. An anonymous white label, No Name was given away free with any purchase at White’s Third Man stores on Friday while a very limited number of copies were also sent to customers at random in the mail. Its mysterious grooves contained 14 tracks of raw, fresh, fierce garage blues – seven on each side. There were no official song titles, no hint at the artist – but there was no doubt that this was the work of Jack White himself.

No Name is the sixth studio album from Jack White, founding member of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather. True to his DIY roots, this record was recorded at White's Third Man Studio throughout 2023 and 2024, pressed to vinyl at Third Man Pressing, and released by Third Man Records.
