Some facts about Icky Thump:
  • Icky Thump has no piano performances (unlike it’s predecessor which was mostly written and performed on piano). And is the first White Stripes album to contain no piano based songs.
  • It has the most guitar solos Jack White has ever recorded to tape.
  • It is the first time the band has collaborated with horns and bagpipes.
  • It is the first time The White Stripes have ever recorded and mixed an album at a conventional modern studio.
  • Icky Thump was still, however, recorded to reel-to-reel, and mixed to tape in complete analog fashion.
  • The album was recorded in three weeks. Shockingly, the longest the band have ever spent working on a record.
  • Icky Thump contains the first spoken dialogue song to appear on one of their albums “Rag and Bone”.
  • Icky Thump is the second longest album of The White Stripes pantheon thus far. Second to Elephant with more than 48 minutes in running time.
  • The album’s title is a morphing of the phrase “ECKY THUMP” which is an exclamation of surprise or wonderment in Northern England.
  • The synthesizer used in the title track was also used on the song “Telstar” recorded by Joe Meek.
  • Jack White used the exact same guitars on Icky Thump that he has recorded with on every White Stripes album.
  • “I’m Slowly Turning Into You” is possibly the first song to be written based on a video treatment. This was inspired by one which was given to The White Stripes by Michel Gondry.
