THE DEAD WEATHER ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM DODGE & BURN
SPECIAL DODGE & BURN VAULT PACKAGE AVAILABLE NOW
Way back in October 2013, The Dead Weather and Third Man Records announced an incredibly special 7” featuring “Open Up (That’s Enough)” b/w “Rough Detective” as part of Vault Package #18. These two tracks were a fierce battle cry heralding the announcement of a brand new Dead Weather album that was to be released in a revolutionary fashion. Teased out over the past year and a half via a series of 7” singles, the physical versions of which were ONLY available via The Vault (Third Man’s one-of-a-kind subscription mail-order service), the band promised this would culminate in a brand new album in 2015. The third Dead Weather LP would be a full length album comprised not only of the previously released 7” singles, but newly recorded, previously-unheard material. Today, The Dead Weather officially announce their new album Dodge & Burn.
Dodge & Burn will be released worldwide in September 2015 on Third Man Records and will feature eight brand new songs, along with the four previously released tracks remixed and remastered. Alison Mosshart, Jack White, Dean Fertita and Jack Lawrence spent their rare and sporadic free moments over the past year recording together in Nashville. With the members of the band heavily involved in other projects, The Dead Weather will not be touring in support of the new album. Thankfully the thick and heavy Dodge & Burn will satisfy your urges for the dark magic that is The Dead Weather for a very long time.
- A limited edition Dodge & Burn LP on Inclement Weather vinyl (that is to say opaque yellow with black ‘debris’) housed in a soft-touch embossed sleeve featuring metallic ink and a Vault-exclusive alternate cover designed by Rob Jones, also featuring a limited edition bonus poster inside.
- The only physical version of the new Dead Weather 7” and single from Dodge & Burn on yellow vinyl with black debris.
- A deck of custom Dead Weather playing cards designed by Silent Giants featuring the band members as the King, Queen, Jack and Joker. Previously released in limited numbers and now, due to popular demand, re-issued for the Vault only with new packaging artwork.

SO EXCITED!!! Finally all my Dead Weather dreams come true… almost. :D
Floormats are an important part of staying grounded in the age of electronics…
Well my friend, I’m just pointing out that options exist to digitize for personal use (and not just turntables with built in USB converters but converters that can work with any tt and likely achieve higher quality). If digital copies were truly mass market wouldn’t it likely undermine the value of a “collection addition” (if value is really a main concern)? I would love to have a high quality digital copy from the master but putting myself in TMR’s shoes, I would imagine a digital copy would be much easier to distribute and pirate. Maybe I’m way off base here.. Thanks for the feedback. Now what’s this about floormats?!
Mr. Luebbers…. There are some software issues that arise with these new fangled USB platters according to some fans reports… Audacity needs a certification course just be able mastering a tracklist in my humble opinion as well… The real issue at hand here is those Vaulties who crave a highly sought after collection addition which does not diminish in value while also desiring that it be massmarket commodified for ready consumption in all formats…. Not to be misconstrued for floormats produced in some foreign locale which as yet remains unmentioned … Therein lies the contradictory conundrm my friend!!!
Man oh Man…..Yall gotta quit letting OJ snap the casual shots for these releases… that sort of Bathtub Love Killing just doesnt suit Allison at all…. Not to mention trashin the girls hat in the process… And Hey!!! It seems like Jack was just on a rant about Women catching all the haterade as a part of not getting a fair shake just months ago??? This Northern Aggressive must not stand so…. Ladies… Start Your Engines!!!! We are in for some more turbulence from the cock pit!!! :D
A reasonably cheap and easy way to digitize vinyl is to buy a USB converter such as the “BEHRINGER U-PHONO UFO202” ($30 or so at your favorite online vendor). You can connect the converter directly to your computer by USB, record using Audacity (which is free), do whatever basic filtering or post-processing you want (including breaking into tracks), and convert to mp3 of whatever quality you prefer. Okay maybe it’s not THAT easy, but it’s definitely doable to get a portable version of decent quality. I don’t foresee TMR providing digital anytime soon, but I could be wrong.
Good news and great package.
Yea an MP3 download would be quite lovely!
YAAAS. Stoked.
Thank You!!!!
