The White Stripes will play a free show in New York's Union Square later today as part of a series of ‘guerilla concerts’ sponsored by Nissan. Jack White, meanwhile, has confirmed the new album is more or less done. In a posting on the band’s website he says: "We have finished the making, mixing and mastering of ‘Elephant’ but won't let it out of its cage just yet. It needs to graze on the plains for a minute. Perhaps it's not what Meg and I think it is. Perhaps it's the worst album we've ever made. Or perhaps we'll all be surprised. We'll see, I suppose, but at the time it was a good feeling, and it may come back and roost forever." Neither of their labels, V2 in the US and XL in the UK, will be drawn on a release date just yet.
