Jack White is streaming audio of the track “Ice Station Zebra” as the latest preview to the Arch 23 release of his third album, “Boarding House Reach.”
Featuring an eclectic instrumental mix and a melody reminiscent of the theme song to the 1990s sitcom "The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air" by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, White resurrected the tune from a scrapped collaboration with Jay-Z.
“A couple years ago I had worked on a few tracks with Jay Z,” explains White, “we were going to do an album together, it just never culminated and we didn’t finish. But this was something I played drums, piano guitar, and bass on as an idea for him to maybe spur him on to inspire him and do something.”
White self-produced his first record in four years, which he recorded at his Third Man Studio in Nashville, TN, as well as Sear Sound in New York, NY, and Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, CA.
While will support “Boarding House Reach” with an extensive North American tour that will open in his hometown of Detroit, MI on April 19.
The rocker has been previewing the trek with a series of live shows this week at his Third Man Records building in Nashville, TN and a March 20 appearance at The Mayan Theater in Los Angeles, CA.
