De Stijl (album)

De Stijl (/də ˈsteɪl/) is the second studio album by the American rock duo the White Stripes, independently released by the Sympathy for the Record Industry on June 20, 2000. It was conceived before band members Jack White and Meg White divorced, who nonetheless continued working together and presented themselves as siblings. Produced by Jack and recorded on an 8-track analog tape in his living room, the album takes inspiration from the art movement of the same name and features the band's early blues-inspired sound.

De Stijl sold moderately upon release but received generally positive reviews from critics. The album has gained renewed attention and peaked at 38 on Billboard's Independent Albums chart in 2002. It was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and included on NME's list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" in 2013.
