Jack & Meg’s sophomore album, special edition cassette straight from Third Man! Originally released in 2000, De Stijl remains a favorite among The White Stripes fans for the its simple blues-punk-metal sounds. The title is a reference to a Dutch art movement of the same name, and the Detroit duo has acknowledged the minimalist and deconstructionist aspects of De Stijl influencing the album, which includes “Apple Blossom,” “You’re Pretty Good Look (For A Girl),” “Death Letter,” “Truth Doesn’t Make A Noise,” “Jumble, Jumble,” and “Why Can’t You Be Nicer To Me?”.2018 cassette edition in translucent red shells, also available as a pack with The White Stripes and White Blood Cells.
