The untitled sixth studio album by American rock musician Jack White, also known as No Name,[1] was released on July 19, 2024, through Third Man Records. The album was a surprise vinyl-only release that was included with all purchases at Third Man Records store locations in Detroit, Nashville, and London.
Release
On July 19, 2024, Third Man Records included a free 12-inch vinyl record with all purchases made at their store locations in Detroit, Nashville, and London, without offering customers any details about the record.[1] Employees at the locations were also not briefed about the record's contents, only being instructed by their management to include it with every purchase made free of charge.[2] The white-colored record consists of a generic white sleeve with a white label that only has "No Name" in all-capitals stamped onto it.[3] Side A of the record has "Heaven and Hell" etched into its dead wax area, while side B has "Black and Blue" etched into it.[2] The record was also given the catalog number TMR-1000.[4]
News about the record spread online through word of mouth after customers realized that Jack White was the artist of the record, and that it was an entirely new album of original recordings from him.[2] Detroit's public radio station WDET-FM also played a selection of songs from the album live on the air after radio show host Ryan Patrick Hooper obtained the album while shopping at Third Man earlier in the day.[5] Later that day, Third Man took to social media to encourage those who obtained the record to rip its audio digitally and share it online.[6] The Detroit Metro Times described the album's sound as being "more stripped down and guitar-heavy" than White's previous two albums, Fear of the Dawn (2022) and Entering Heaven Alive (2022).[4] On his radio show, Hooper described the album as being "dirty, grimy, gritty – it sounds raw".[7]
