Jack White has shared a video for City Lights by the White Stripes.
The clip was created by Michel Gondry, who has worked with the band previously. Check out the video's accompanying statement below:
"Third Man Records is pleased to share the genius surprise gift they received from their friend MICHEL GONDRY. On his own and without anyone's knowledge, the legendary filmmaker shot a video for "City Lights," which he sent them the other night. The video is Gondry's fifth visual collaboration with The White Stripes. "City Lights" was written for The White Stripes' GET BEHIND ME SATAN but then forgotten until White revisited the 2005 album for Third Man's Record Store Day 2015 vinyl reissue and finished the recording in 2016. The track is the first new, worldwide commercially released song by The White Stripes since 2008."
The track features on White's new career-spanning rarities record, ‘Acoustic Recordings 1998 - 2016’, which came out last week and contains alternate versions, mixes and unearthed material from White’s solo career, as well as his time with the White Stripes and Raconteurs.
