Fear of the Dawn, Jack White's fourth solo album, came out on his own Third Man Records on April 8, 2022, and it's the loudest, strangest thing he'd made in years. He wrote it in Nashville, cut it throughout 2021 at Third Man Studio and produced it himself, and it lurches between blues rock, garage-rock fuzz, hard-rock bluster and prog-style detours without ever pausing for breath.
"Taking Me Back" is the blueprint: a squealing, digitally mangled riff that sounds like a guitar being fed through a blender, over drums that hit like a wrecking ball. "What's the Trick" struts and stutters, and "Hi-De-Ho" drifts into woozy, swing-inflected territory that has no business working on a rock record but does. It's the sound of the former White Stripes frontman refusing to sit still, and guitar fans noticed.
