Hands

The most riveting track on their underwhelming Broken Boy Soldiers debut, ‘Hands’ is a combination of ‘60s infused power-pop and hardened guitar. It shows that, when they hit their stride, Brendan Benson and Jack White can crank out a decent racket together. Benson’s polished vocal is off-set by White’s spiralling, Jimmy Page-inspired guitar lines. ‘Hands’ does, perhaps, slightly overstay its welcome but is fun in doses.

Steady As She Goes

Damn you, Jack White, why do you have to seep talent through every pore that graces your seemingly flawless self? With The Raconteurs, the man with the Midas touch puts The White Stripes on hold and teams up with pals singer/songwriter Brendan Benson and members of The Greenhornes. On the face of it, it’s a simple little track with an indie swagger that makes you feel like the coolest person in class just for listening to it. But, in fact, the arrangements, vocal and otherwise, are a work of intricate genius. How we look forward to their debut album, Broken Boy Soldiers.
