“Broken Boy Soldier” from Broken Boy Soldier(releases May 16th)

Brendan Benson(indie posterboy) teams up with Jack White(Billy Corgan Jr.) to create the perfect validation of “the sum is greater than the parts”. Those of you disappointed, as I was, with the latest White Stripes album will find that Jack has redeemed himself with this collaboration and album.

“Steady as She Goes” is the first single from the album. It’s a fine sounding indie pop effort but a little on the bubblegummy side for me. I much prefer the darker sounding title track “Broken Boy Soldier”. The rolling ominous beat overlaid with Jack White’s strained vocals creates a sense of dread that you can bob your head to.

*The band’s website has creative navigation but is kinda annoying.
