With collaged guitar lines and Cab Calloway samples, the former White Stripe embraces his experimental side for a bizarre listening experience
— the first of two records White will release this year — feels like a hodgepodge of good intentions and so-so execution. The best songs here are the ones where White listens to his instincts and doesn’t let his concepts get in the way of a great hook.
But it all comes undone when allows his ambitions to become metaphysical. His wanted to update Cab Calloway’s joyful scatting on “Hi-De-Ho” with a tiptoeing, modern-dance melody and some hi-de-ho’ing hip-hop verses by A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip, but it ended up sounding more like late-Nineties Big Band revival pop. And the initial “Eosophobia” is a Dr. Moreau-like hybrid of dub reggae and Jimmy Page riffing that doesn’t quite translate into “Dyer Maker.
The pop-song collages are sometimes jarring and sometimes recall the late Nineties when every rock band attempted to write songs with trip-hop beats White just has to hope that listeners have the same attention span that he has.
