JACK WHITE has confirmed that he’s in the process of working on new music.
Having last graced a fully fledged new record on The Dead Weather’s 2015 LP Dodge And Burn, the multi-faceted singer/songwriter has stated that he’s recording new music in a typically eccentric and reclusive fashion.
Speaking to The New Yorker Magazine, White has holed himself up in his adopted home base of Nashville and laying down new music on an old reel-to-reel tape recorder.
When asked about why he’d chosen a more antiquated method as opposed to the array of riches afforded by a modern studio, he claimed that “With computers you can use 310 tracks if you want to, but it’s too much freedom.”
In reference to his process within the confines of a small space in Nashville, he has claimed that his ambitions for putting together tracks for the new project are include an unconventional method:
“I want to write like Michael Jackson would write – instead of writing parts on the instruments or humming melodies, you think of them. To do everything in my head and to do it in silence and use only one room.”
