Jack White freezes the dollhouse and slips Dollar Bill under the door

Jack White announcing Frozen Charlotte on 10 June feels like another entry in his long-running campaign against musical stillness. His seventh solo album arrives with new single Dollar Bill, and the title Frozen Charlotte gives the whole thing an eerie, old-object quality before the guitars even appear. White has always been at his best when he treats rock history less like a museum and more like a haunted workshop: blues, garage, country, punk, old technology, strange objects and stubborn attitude all being rewired in real time. Dollar Bill suggests money, transaction, value and perhaps the usual White-style suspicion of modern surfaces. That is fertile territory for an artist who has spent decades turning thrift-store electricity into mythology. Whether Frozen Charlotte leans raw, theatrical or completely sideways, the announcement itself is enough to make alternative rock’s week feel a little less predictable.
