Surprise Release Mirrors ‘No Name’ Strategy
Jack White’s seventh solo LP, *Frozen Charlotte*, opened for pre-order on June 9, 2026 and will be released on July 10. The first public hint came in the “Third Man Release Lab” video, where a “NEW ALBUM” sign appeared before a short clip of the lead single “Dollar Bill.” This rollout mirrors the unannounced distribution of his 2024 record *No Name*, which arrived as unlabelled vinyl slipped into customers’ bags.
Victorian-Inspired Sculpture Shapes Album Identity
The cover shows a sculpture displayed in White’s visual-art show “These Thoughts May Disappear” at Damien Hirst’s Newport Street Gallery in London (open through Sept 13). In an Instagram post he said a “frozen Charlotte” is a Victorian penny-doll toy that could float or be dressed, recalling a folk song about a girl who froze to death. He noted the exhibition includes multiple versions, from cheap carnival-prize style to elaborately painted pieces.
13-Track Record Builds on Raw Energy
Recorded at Third Man Studio in Nashville, *Frozen Charlotte* features White’s regular trio—drummer Patrick Keeler, bassist Dominic Davis, keyboardist Bobby Emmett. The 13-track album includes the pre-released singles “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs,” “Derecho Demonico,” and the new lead “Dollar Bill,” plus tracks such as “There’s Nobody There,” “Raising the Grain,” and “Neighbors Blues.” The material is raw, raucous rock with blues underpinnings, extending the sound of *No Name*.
Official Statements & Responses
White’s Instagram post linked the album title to the historic penny-doll and noted the sculpture’s multiple versions in his art show. Third Man Records describes *Frozen Charlotte* as White’s seventh studio album that showcases him at his best, highlighting the band’s “scorching hot” performance and the record’s “intense rock and roll punch with blues underpinnings.”
Tour Schedule
The tour starts July 10 at The Anthem in Washington, D.C., then moves through North America. European dates include two sold-out shows at Dublin’s 3 Olympia (Aug 25-26), a Belfast concert at the Telegraph Building (Sept 2), and London’s Eventim Apollo (Aug 25-26).
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Sources differ on the spelling of “Making Contact” (some list “Making Content”) and on the exact order of tracks after “All Alone Again.” All agree on a 13-track total and the inclusion of the three pre-released singles, indicating only minor documentation gaps.
