Frozen Charlotte Arrives
Jack White Announces New Album 'Frozen Charlotte' Set for July 10 Release via Third Man Records
Key Points
Third Man Records’ preorder page for Frozen Charlotte reportedly went live quietly on Tuesday before Jack White officially confirmed the title and July 10 release date. The article also notes White’s earlier stealth rollout for 2024’s No Name, which was initially sold at the Third Man Records store “without any label” before being formally announced.
Beyond the previously shared cuts “Derecho Demonico” and “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs,” the reported track list includes additional songs: “There’s Nobody There,” “Raising the Grain,” “You’ll Never Fix Me,” “Nobody Knows,” “I Can’t Believe What I’m Hearing,” “Thick as Thieves,” “All Alone Again,” “She’s in a Frenzy,” “Making Contact,” and “Neighbors Blues,” alongside “Dollar Bill.”
Jack White’s touring context includes Europe dates happening now; the report says he brings the trek back to North America in July, then schedules a second U.S. leg running from September 18 through November 21.
A BrooklynVegan preview highlights that White’s touring lineup came off a run of “universally-acclaimed performances,” and stresses that the band “went straight to work in the studio” rather than pausing after the tour—framing the album as continuity from the high-energy live momentum.
JamBase specifically credits White as the album’s producer (“White produced Frozen Charlotte”) and says he “recruited his live band to contribute to the album,” adding clarity on his production role beyond recording and songwriting.
Jack White is releasing his seventh studio album, *Frozen Charlotte*, on July 10 via Third Man Records Third Man Records. The 13-track record arrives alongside the lead single "Dollar Bill," which is now available on all streaming platforms.
White officially confirmed the title and release date on June 10, one day after a preorder page quietly went live on the Third Man Records site and was spotted by fans on Reddit Consequence. The album follows 2024's *No Name*, which White also rolled out in stealth fashion — first selling it without a label at the Third Man store before making a formal announcement.
"Dollar Bill" Leads a 13-Track Blues-Rock Record
*Frozen Charlotte* contains 13 original songs produced by White himself JamBase. Beyond the lead single, the track list includes "Derecho Demonico" and "G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs," both released as a surprise double-single on Good Friday, April 3 Noise11. Other songs on the album include "There's Nobody There," "Thick as Thieves," "She's in a Frenzy," and "Neighbors Blues."
Fans and critics have described the new material as a return to raw, high-energy garage rock. *Consequence* called "Dollar Bill" a "guitar revolution." Some listeners online compare the record to a companion piece to *No Name*, leaning into blues roots rather than the electronic experiments heard on White's 2022 album *Fear of the Dawn*.
White's Live Band Went Straight from Stage to Studio
White recorded *Frozen Charlotte* at his Third Man Studio in Nashville BrooklynVegan. He brought in his touring band to play on the record: keyboardist Bobby Emmett, bassist Dominic Davis, and drummer Patrick Keeler, who also plays in The Raconteurs. According to JamBase, the group "went straight to work in the studio" after a run of live shows — skipping any break between the road and the recording process.
The band's live momentum carried into the sessions. BrooklynVegan noted the group had just come off "universally-acclaimed performances," framing the album as a direct extension of that high-energy run. White performed both April singles on *Saturday Night Live* on April 4, the day after they dropped, in an episode hosted by Jack Black.
Stealth Preorder Page Echoed the *No Name* Playbook
On June 8, Third Man Records released Part 1 of a behind-the-scenes video series called "Third Man Release Lab" Stereogum. A 30-second snippet of "Dollar Bill" was hidden in the audio. The next day, a preorder page for *Frozen Charlotte* briefly went live before White made anything official — and fans quickly spread the news across Reddit and indie music forums.
The title itself carries meaning. "Frozen Charlotte" refers to 19th-century porcelain dolls made from a single piece of ceramic, with no movable joints Billboard Canada. White has woven the imagery into the album's artwork and visual rollout. Multiple vinyl variants are available, including colored pressings in "Zug Island Blue," "Chrome," and "Ice Blue," with several reportedly selling out within hours of the announcement.

After the North American leg wraps, he will tour Asia and the UK and Ireland before returning to the U.S. for a second leg running September 18 through November 21 JamBase.
