Boarding House Reach

A frantic, kaleidoscopic collision of blues, hip-hop, and synth-heavy art rock. Jack White's most experimental and unpredictable sonic collage.

It's Jack White's 'Yeezus' moment, where he trades the acoustic guitar for a synthesizer and goes completely off the rails in the best way.

A frantic, high-wire act of creative restlessness that balances paranoia with sudden bursts of soulful clarity.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarring, rhythmic bleeps of a heart monitor that transform into a funk groove on Hypermisophoniac.

The massive, staccato guitar riff in Over and Over and Over that feels like a boulder being pushed uphill.

The rapid-fire, almost-rapped delivery over a jazzy piano break during the bridge of Ice Station Zebra.
