Episode 81 – Sea of Cowards: Analysis & Review vol.1

What this episode covers

Crack a bone with us, won't you? It's time for a major deep dive into the Sea of Cowards! This week we take the microscope to The Dead Weather's sophomore release with an album analysis &amp; review of 2010's <em>Sea of Cowards</em>. In a world where both The White Stripes and The Raconteurs were releasing new material, the announcement of a new band featuring Jack White, Alison Mosshart, Dean Fertita and Jack "LJ" Lawrence in the spring of 2009 left many fans and critics scratching their heads. With Jack on the drums for the first time in his post-fame career, The Dead Weather stood out from the aforementioned pack and carved their own psychedelic, dark path through the rock world. A mere ten months following their debut LP Horehound in 2009, the band returned with yet another LP release which built on its predecessor to polished and speaker-rattling results. In part one of this two-part exploration, we review the album from inception to release - including album artwork, the meaning behind the title, and how the band blended spontaneous excitement with sleek studio production for an unforgettable follow-up with an unmistakable sound. We're also joined this week by Third Man Sam Sandak who gives us the low-down on Jack White live at the Santa Barbara Bowl this past summer. So sit back, crack your knuckles (if you're at home), lick an ice cream cone and join us! da da da da<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
