The Raconteurs Try Something Different

Over the past 12 months we’ve seen a number of bands create innovative methods to try to beat the dreaded internet leak. The latest brilliant ploy comes from The Raconteurs who have just announced that they will release their second album, Consolers Of The Lonely, on vinyl, cd and digital formats next Tuesday. In a little over a week we’ll have 14 new tracks from the supergroup.


The Raconteurs finished recording the album two weeks ago, and have opted to bypass the traditional “first week sales” marketing push the record labels love so much. Instead they plan to release Consolers Of The Lonely, and then promote the album after everyone has a chance to hear the music at the same time. We figure that there are some major label execs that are hoping the new album goes down like a lead balloon, but we’re banking on Jack White and the boys to deliver another delicious serving of rock.
