White Stripes going to record in London

DETROIT (CDnow) - While the White Stripes' third effort, White Blood Cells, was part of many year-end picks for 2001, the Detroit-based brother and sister team of Jack and Meg White are well advanced with its follow up. "I think we're almost done, actually, with all the songs," says Jack.
"We're probably going to record in London in a couple of months if we're lucky, find a really cool studio in an old warehouse that we'd like to use."

Not even White himself is quite sure about the feel and direction of the songs at this stage, although it's reasonable to assume that they won't stray too far from the duo's broad blues platform and general passion for musical tradition.
"It's kind of from all different places. I mean, it has some melodies and stories that I don't really know what to do with. We're trying to make them work into something we can play live. Sometimes you just wake up with a song in your head in the morning and that's the interesting part; to try to actually make that some sort of coherent thing that can be sung out on stage or performed or something. Sometimes it doesn't always work."
