Jack White has been teasing new material, and following the recent single "Taking Me Back," the rock polymath has announced two new albums.

The first of the two albums is Fear of the Dawn, which will arrive on April 8 through the artist's own Third Man Records. This album includes the electric version of "Taking Me Back," and A Tribe Called Quest rapper Q-Tip appears on the song "Hi-De-Ho." Several song titles refer to dawn or nightfall, including the title track, "Into the Twilight," "Dusk," "Morning, Noon and Night" and "Eosophobia." ("Eosophobia" refers to fear of dawn or daylight.)

A few months later, Entering Heaven Alive will follow on July 22. This album will include the acoustic "Gently" version of "Taking Me Back," which appeared on the B-side of the single.
