De Stijl (/də ˈsteɪl/) is the second studio album by the American rock duo the White Stripes, released on June 20, 2000, by the Sympathy for the Record Industry. Produced by the band's guitarist and lead vocalist Jack White, the album was recorded on an 8-track analog tape in his living room following the covert divorce of members Jack and Meg White, who nevertheless continued working together. The album takes its name from the art movement of the same name, and features their early blues-inspired sound.
De Stijl received positive reviews from critics, and earned a gold certification from the British Phonographic Industry. The album became a cult classic after appearing on Billboard's Independent Albums chart in 2002, and was later included on NME's list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" in 2013.
