  The White Stripes, songwriter Jack White (vocals, guitar, piano, and once bass)   and Meg White (drums and occasional vocals) formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan.   After releasing several singles and three albums within the Detroit independent   music underground, The White Stripes rose to prominence in 2002, as part of the   garage rock revival scene.
 
  Their use of analog and low-fidelity equipment in the recording process   partnered with a do-it-yourself approach created a raw simplicity of   composition, arrangement, and performance that sets them apart from their   contemporaries.
 
  Recorded in a brief two-week stint at Liam Watson’s Toe Rag studio in London,   with no equipment dating past the epochal year of 1963, the band’s fourth album   is dedicated to “The Death of the Sweetheart.” Elephant stretches seamlessly   from extreme polar opposites of the musical spectrum in mere minutes. Songs like   “Seven Nation Army” and the “The Hardest Button to Button” are sinister and   powerful, with tones and harmonics so eerie that they might have been written at   the Winchester Mystery House. At the same time, songs like “There’s No Home for   You Here” and “You’ve Got Her in Your Pocket” enjoy such innocent, pop naiveté   that one can’t help but wonder if Jack White thinks/dreams in such scattered   song styles or if he’s laughing at you trying to dissect his every last word.   The sincere emotion that is the foundation of the ‘feeling’ you get listening to   the White Stripes’ music ties every song together.
 
  This record will be remembered. Everything is laid out for the critics to pick   and pull apart. Don’t think too deep. Just listen. Turn off the outside world.   Elephant opens doors to a thousand different stories. This is not hype. This is   an understatement. Like an elephant never forgets, you will remember “Elephant”   forever...
