Fresh off their only scheduled performance on The Late Show (and first since 2010), The Dead Weather have shared a new single from their forthcoming album. The single actually comes in the form of a tutorial video, the second in a series where each band member talks about their respective instrument.
The new song, “Mile Markers”, comes at the end of this instructional bass clip from bassist Jack Lawrence. The first instructional video came from Jack White, who talked about his drumming technique at length before treating fans to a live version of the Dead Weather’s 2009 hit, “Hang You From The Heavens”.
Check out the new video below:
