Listen: The Dead Weather Stream ‘Rough Detective’ Track
B-side appears on the first of 12 Dead Weather singles released this year.
Last month the first half of the first single, ‘Open Up (That’s Enough)’, was unveiled in scrappy quality (presumably by a fan who’d grabbed the vinyl and ended up overly excited). That splintering lead track has now been joined by ‘Rough Detective’, its b-side. Jack White leads vocals in a deranged, throbbing number that spits out every word in a bitter, twisted tongue.
Note: It also contains the lyric, ‘Your instinct is defective but your cock’s on fire’…
Listen to the single in full below and on Spotify.
