Jack White has announced the official release of his surprise new album, “No Identify,” which was briefly on sale in limited quantities at his Third Man File stores earlier this month, in a plain white cover with no information other than the title.
The official release will be on Friday (August 2), with a blue vinyl version likely to be available at Third Man Information retail stores on Thursday, and at select independent document stores worldwide the following day. It will also be available on black vinyl via the Third Man and Jack White websites.

Staying true to White’s DIY roots, the album was recorded, produced and mixed by him at his Third Man Studio throughout 2023 and 2024, pressed to vinyl at Third Man Urgent and released via Third Man Records.
The album, which created a wave of delight when news of its existence broke on July 19, is the first straight-ahead rock album White has released since his former group, the White Stripes, last performed in 2007.
“Blazing… is the freshest, most fun rock and roll album to come back in years,” Selection wrote in his enthusiastic review. “fiery rock and roll — “The vitality doesn’t let up for a second, (and) it’s so exciting and explosive that it makes you wonder why he, or anyone else, hasn’t made an album like this recently.
