Lazaretto is Jack White's second studio album. It was released in 2014. The "Ultra" LP features hidden songs, secret grooves and holograms that appear when the record is played. Lazaretto was partly inspired by a collection of short stories, poems and plays White wrote when he was 19 years old and rediscovered years later in his attic.
