White Stripes confirm 'Icky' new album details

The new album from the White Stripes will be called Icky Thump, the band has confirmed.

Jack and Meg White will release the follow-up to 2005's Get Behind Me Satan later this year, and are currently planning live shows to back the album.

In an online posting this week, it was confirmed that mixing and recording of the record has been completed at Blackbird Studio in Nashville, Tennessee.

"We are doing our best (whatever that is) to release the album as soon as corporately possible," the statement reads. "And though we are tired, worn, weary, hungry, cold and left without an ounce of nutrition amongst ourselves, we are in the midst of planning performance type shows around the world."

Speaking about the recording process, the posting continues: "It was the longest time the delightful duo have ever spent in the studio, totalling almost three weeks. Jack and Meg were said to have been looking like they were 'into it almost.'

"And even Meg herself was quoted while leaving a local Nashville laundromat saying that the record was, in her best estimate, 'finished,' 'musical in nature,' and lastly, though slightly muffled, 'good.'"

Tracks set to feature include "Catch Hell Blues," "Little Cream Soda," "Rag And Bone," "Clicky Bump," "You Don't Know What Love Is (Just Do As You're Told)," and "I'm Slowly Turning Into You."
