De Stijl

De Stijl is the second studio album by the American rock duo the White Stripes, released on June 20, 2000, on Sympathy for the Record Industry. The album was recorded after the covert divorce of band members Jack and Meg White, who nevertheless continued working together. It was produced by Jack White, and was recorded on an 8-track analog tape in his living room.

The album takes its name from the De Stijl art movement, which also inspired the White Stripes' signature color schemes and presentation. Though it was not an immediate commercial success, De Stijl reached number 38 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart in 2002, two years after its release, when the White Stripes grew in popularity. It is considered a cult classic.
