In the beginning of October we reported that The Dead Weather would release a series of new singles leading up to a new album in 2015. Today we hear the first track of the series entitled "Open Up (That's Enough)."
The song opens up with a startling scream. It has a dark vibe and takes place in a Tennessee graveyard. "I look into the space that your faith might believe in," Alison Mosshart sings with screeching agony. The song definitely recalls imagery of a horror story with someone running for his or her life, trying to find a place to hide.
"Open Up (That's Enough)" and B-side "Rough Detective" were first released on 7-inch vinyl as part of the Third Man's Vault subscription series. As we reported previously, the album was released on a "striking yellow jacket vinyl and coupled with a custom glue-pocket picture sleeve." Each new song in the series will eventually become available digitally but only after the Vault subscriptions have been sent to subscribers.
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."
