Jack White's side project, The Raconteurs (Sabateurs), are ready to release their second album which will be available next week. 'Consolers Of The Lonely' will be available next Tuesday (March 25) on all formats. The 14-track album is the follow-up to 2006's critically acclaimed 'Broken Boy Soldiers'.
Once the mastering was completed, the band decided to rush release the album with March 25 being the first available date. The Raconteurs denied that the quick release was to prevent internet leaks and confirmed that the band would promote the album in due course.
"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 theatre. Which for the album's creators is a bit of a letdown, but again, it is completely up to the listener."
The band also expressed their desire for fans to download the album as a whole if they chose the digital format rather than purchasing individual tracks.
"The band also prefer that fans buy the album as a whole instead of breaking up the tracks, but until iTunes and other digital services allows bands to release their albums with the option of not breaking it up, it will be sold in that fashion on those particular sites."
