The recording differed from previous albums in that White had the comparative luxury of recording to 16-track analog rather than his usual 8-track. The album took almost three weeks to record-the longest of any White Stripes album. According to Chiccarelli in an interview with HitQuarters, the band had already rehearsed and demoed around half the album, with the rest being conceived in the studio. Icky Thump was recorded and mixed entirely in analog at Nashville's Blackbird Studio by Joe Chiccarelli. Additionally, the album introduces Scottish folk music, avant-garde, trumpet, and bagpipes into the formula, whilst simultaneously reintroducing older characteristics such as the first studio recording of the early White Stripes song "Little Cream Soda". After Get Behind Me Satan, Icky Thump marks a return to the punk, garage rock and blues influences for which the band is known.
