I was looking over NME.com just a second ago, when I saw news that, actually, stoked me out. The Raconteurs (aka, Jack White's OTHER band, or as my Dad calls it, his PROPER band) are releasing a brand spanking new album on March 25th, titled "Consolers of the Lonely." Cute.
As a follow up to 2006's stellar "Broken Boy Soldiers," The Raconteurs have quite a bit of pressure on them. Not at ALL the same kind of pressure that Arctic Monkeys did when they released "Favourite Worst Nightmare," but pressure, none the less. On that note, I have nothing but faith in Jack White and his music-making abilities, seeing as pretty much all of The White Stripes' albums are perfect.
I, personally, love the The Raconteurs purely for their image. Their wild-western look is what, originally, drew me to them, and their music, especially Broken Boy Soldiers and Steady as She Goes, kept me drawn. Their music truly is storytelling, which, I guess, makes their name make sense.
Well, thank God for that, huh?
