Raconteurs Consolers of the Lonely Out Next Tuesday
The Raconteurs had a surprise release announcement as well. Their new album is not only finished, but it’s coming out next Tuesday. As soon as I’m done doing the dos thing on their site, I might get to the short blurb. They also announced some dates for the spring to promote the record.
This, via a news release on their myspace: “Also in the event that the record leaks, we didn’t want this method of release to be seen as a REACTION to such a leak. It’s not. The actual worst thing about a leak is the usual poor sound quality, akin to watching a movie on a wristwatch instead of in a theater. Which for the album’s creators is a bit of a letdown, but again, it is completely up to the listener.”
