Lazaretto

On April 1, 2014, White announced his second solo album, Lazaretto , inspired by plays and poetry he had written as a teen. It was released on June 10, 2014, simultaneously with the first single off the album, “High Ball Stepper”. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and, in a personal triumph for White, broke the record for the largest sales week for a vinyl album since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. The album was widely praised among critics, and was nominated for three Grammy Awards: Best Alternative Music Album , Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance (for the song ” Lazaretto “). During the supporting tour, he performed the longest show of his career on July 30, 2014, at the Detroit Masonic Temple , and later performed as one of the headliners at the Coachella Festival over two weekends in April 2015.
