Fear of the Dawn, due April 8, and Entering Heaven Alive, due July 22, will be the fourth and fifth studio albums of the Detroit native's solo career, and his latest since 2018's Boarding House Reach. The pair of albums will join a lengthy catalog of work that began with the White Stripes' self-titled debut in 1999.
A media release offered little detail about the new albums' musical directions, saying only that they are "entirely distinctive" and "defined by different inspirations, different themes, different moods." Both will be released in an assortment of formats, including five limited-edition LP variations in keeping with Third Man Records' devotion to vinyl.
