The Dead Weather came back swinging in 2010 with "Die by the Drop", the first single from Sea of Cowards, their second album, issued on Third Man Records with "Old Mary" on the flip. It's blues rock with the bruises showing, thick, sludgy and mean, and it doesn't waste a second getting to the point.
Floria Sigismondi directed the video, having already shot "Blue Orchid" for the White Stripes and "Broken Boy Soldier" for the Raconteurs, Jack White's other two bands. Hers was the first official Dead Weather clip to show the whole band playing, and its footage got recycled into teasers for "Blue Blood Blues", "Gasoline" and "Jawbreaker".
