Released in 2000, De Stijl is the second studio album by the American rock duo the White Stripes.
Named after the Dutch art movement and magazine of the same name from the early 20th century, the White Stripes sophomore release finds the band recording in the comfortable confines of Jack White’s Third Man Studios, then housed on the ground floor of his house in Southwest Detroit.
This is the album that would propel the band into globe-trotting rock and roll prominence. The on-point covers of Son House and Blind Willie McTell pair wonderfully with both the minimal downtempo somber numbers and the maximum energy explosions of unadulterated power.
Without a doubt, this album is a must-have in any record collection!
