The Raconteurs Surprise CD Announcement - A Top Story This Week

03/22/08
. The Raconteurs Surprise CD Announcement was a top story on Thursday. Here it is again: (antiMusic) The Raconteurs aren't letting their new album gather any dust(or undergo any critical scrutiny). No sooner had they finished mastering it, they announce an almost immediate release. The band shocked the music biz on Monday with the announcement that their new album will hit stores next Tuesday. Here is what they had to say: The Raconteurs are happy to announce that in one week's time their second album, entitled "Consolers Of The Lonely", will be available EVERYWHERE Tuesday, March 25th.

"Album" meaning: full length vinyl, CD and digital formats; and "everywhere" meaning: local mom and pop Indie retailers, corporate superstores, supermarkets, iTunes, Amazon, the band's own website and any other location that could get the record up and going this quickly (some places couldn't move this fast, so they will join in as soon as they can).

It contains 14 new recordings and is being released globally on Third Man Records in conjunction with our marketing/distribution partners, XL Recordings and Warner Brothers Records. - more on this story
