As previously reported, The Dead Weather are releasing a series of two-song singles leading up to a 2015 album release. The first installment was released in January with "Open Up (That's Enough)" and "Rough Detective." White announced the follow-up singles, "Buzzkill(er)" and "It's Just Too Bad," back in July and has now premiered the former online.
The riff-heavy three-minute track features energetic vocals from Alison Mosshart.
"Oh lord, I will not follow you / I'm in the lead," she sings. "Oh lord, you will not get to me / Down in Tennessee."
The song will be available for purchase on November 4 along with "It's Just Too Bad."
The new 7-inch will be available first through Third Man Records' Vault Subscription Series before later being released digitally.
In a statement, Third Man explained that the series is "unlike anything else the band has ever done and are both ample reminders of the ferocity of this motley collection of low-lifes, grifters and ne'er-do-wells. These songs are not throw-aways. These songs are not demos. These songs are not outtakes."
The band will continue to release songs in sets of two until 2015 at which time they will release a full-length album containing the previously released singles as well as "many more album-only tracks."
