Jack White is married to a gorgeous giantess. He has a sweet baby girl and a wee laddie on the way. Domestic bliss seldom leads to great art, family life can be distracting, and it’s a scientifically proven fact that a man’s testosterone output drops precipitously when he becomes a father. Thus, it’s not just a pleasure but also something of a surprise to report that White has rediscovered not only his guitar but also his will to rock—both of which were mostly missing from The White Stripe’s previous release, Get Behind Me Satan—on Icky Thump. The title track is a gleeful celebration of the garage aesthetic. The video’s creepily carnivalesque, south-of-the-border imagery is the perfect complement, and it’s probably the freakiest plea for immigration reform we’re likely to see in the upcoming election season.
