The new White Stripes material....

....is a shrill chore to listen to.  Evidently, the kilt Jack White took to wearing during his stint with the Raconteurs (see pic) has gone right to his head, as this new track, courtesy of Idolator, sounds like -- to paraphrase two co-workers -- a sickly cross between bad Yes and the score to "Riverdance."

Proceed with caution.
