Dodge and Burn by The Dead Weather

Dodge and Burn, the Dead Weather's third album, came out on Third Man Records on September 25, 2015, five years after Sea of Cowards, and it was put together in fits and starts. The Nashville supergroup, with Alison Mosshart from the Kills, Jack White, also of the White Stripes and the Raconteurs, Dean Fertita out of Queens of the Stone Age and the Greenhornes' Jack Lawrence, recorded whenever schedules and inspiration allowed, and fed songs out through the Vault, Third Man's vinyl subscription club: "Open Up (That's Enough)" and "Rough Detective" in 2013, then "Buzzkill(er)" and "It's Just Too Bad" in November 2014. Those four plus eight more make up the record, with White producing.

You'd never guess it was pieced together. It's garage rock with the lights off, all fuzz-caked, stop-start riffs and a mean, swaggering groove, and "I Feel Love (Every Million Miles)", the third song let out ahead of the album, grabs hardest.
