The garage-punk band the Go, whose ranks briefly included Jack White before he formed the White Stripes, are finally releasing their long-shelved second album, Free Electricity, 26 years after it was recorded. The record was made shortly after White left the band and their 1999 Sub Pop debut Whatcha Doin', but it was never issued until now. It matters as a restored piece of Detroit garage-rock history tied to White's early career.

Free Electricity was produced by Matthew Smith of Outrageous Cherry, who also handled the debut, and reflects a heavy '60s free-jazz influence, with guest appearances from Destroy All Monsters' Cary Loren and Wolf Eyes' John Olson. The title track is out now, and the full 10-song album will be released by Sub Pop on 4 September 2026. The Go continued working after the album was shelved, touring with the White Stripes and Guided By Voices and later releasing music on Burger Records.
