The White Stripes - 'Conquest'

The White Stripes - 'Conquest'

starstarstarstarno star

We’ve grown all too familiar with Jack White’s florid desire to tell bizarre tales within a similarly wacky musical backdrop. Thus ‘Conquest’ is hardly surprising. Through brassy musical imagery of a sunburnt Spanish bullring blossoms a tale of a woman (the “hunted”) overcoming a man (the “hunter”).  “She had finally made a conquest,” sings White, as Meg stomps a cavernous hole into her bass drum. If the organisers of Spain's infamous spectacle of corrida de toros were ever in need of a theme tune, then they could do far worse than choose this spitting, grunting beast. Once again The White Stripes astound.

Released 31/12/07 on XL Recordings.
