White’s seventh studio LP, ‘Frozen Charlotte’, includes the ferocious new single and closing track, “Neighbors Blues”. LISTEN HERE. The album was first announced last month alongside the scathing “Dollar Bill”, which was met by high-profile applause from media outlets around the world, including Rolling Stone, NME and Consequence, the latter of which raved, “There are three or four riffs in ‘Dollar Bill’ that plenty of guitarists would kill to write: downward cascades of vibrato; playful strums that pop upwards and turn into the chords of the verses; and the rocking chunks of power chords in the chorus…While White is no stranger to social and political themes, the way he approaches them here does feel different, with abstract and even disconnected phrases adding up to a tone poem about what we’re willing to do for money.”
‘Frozen Charlotte’ was further heralded with Third Man Release Lab, a free, two-part, behind-the-scenes online series that explores Third Man Records’ creative approach to record releases. The two episodes teased the LP’s release with glitching album imagery, allusions to the “Frozen Charlatan” character, and a “Dollar Bill” audio clip for the first time. Third Man Release Lab Part 1 and Part 2 are streaming now at YouTube.
White and his longtime live band – Patrick Keeler (drums), Dominic Davis (bass), and Bobby Emmett (keys) – will also cross the Atlantic for a series of shows and headline festival appearances in Europe and the United Kingdom, as well as an Asia tour for eagerly anticipated dates in Seoul and Shanghai.
Produced and mixed by White, ‘Frozen Charlotte’ shows the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer at his very best, backed by an incredible band whose collective hand was scorching hot after coming off the universally acclaimed ‘No Name’ World Tour. Instead of resting on a job well done, White and his fellow musicians went straight to work at his Third Man Studio in Nashville and laid down what became ‘Frozen Charlotte’. Boasting 13 brand-new tracks of distinct feel and tone, the new LP is an intense rock and roll punch with blues underpinnings never far behind, carrying on with the same raucous, raw, and frenetic energy from White’s GRAMMY® Award-nominated, critically lauded 2024 sixth studio LP, ‘No Name’.
Highlights include the fiery “Derecho Demonico” and “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs”, both available now on all DSPs and streaming services. White and his band marked the release of the two new songs earlier this year with electrifying performances of both songs during a landmark sixth career appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live.
