The Dead Weather Release New Song ‘Buzzkill(er)': Listen
By Marissa G. Muller
Fans of The Dead Weather have been waiting for the band to prep their followup to their debut Horehound for what feels like forever — five years, to be exact. But song by song, it’s getting closer.
Today brings another step forward with “Buzzkill(er).” The track is a sonic continuation of “Rough Detective,” the last new song heard from the supergroup back in January, and, before that, “Open Up (That’s Enough).”

It’s rough-edged, punk-spirited and, on it, frontwoman Alison Mosshart’s vocals cutting like a razor blade.
When “Rough Detective” and “Open Up” were released, Jack White’s Third Man Records said of the tracks in a press release that they’re “unlike anything else the band has ever done and are both ample reminders of the ferocity of this motley collection of low-lifes, grifters and ne’er-do-wells. These songs are not throw-aways. These songs are not demos. These songs are not outtakes.”
It seems the same applies to “Buzzkill(er).”
We’ll have to wait until 2015 to hear the album it will appear on — at this point, what’s another handful of months?
