Six months on from when it was first teased, The Raconteurs have confirmed the details of their new studio album Help Us Stranger.
It’s the band’s first since Consolers Of The Lonely of 2008 and comprises those two songs – Sunday Driver and Now That You’re Gone – which first got the new material flowing late last year.
It’s been set for release on June 21st and was, of course, recorded at Third Man in Nashville. It contains 11 tracks co-written by Jack White and Brendan Benson as well as a cover of Donovan’s Hey Gyp (Dig The Slowness).
