A new Raconteurs album will be released in 2019, label Third Man Records have announced.
They’re preparing a re-release of the supergroup’s second album, ‘Consolers of the Lonely’, as part of a Third Man Vault package, to celebrate 10 years since its release back in March 2008.
The set - obviously including a new vinyl pressing of the record (on bronze vinyl, natch) will include two new songs, the band’s first in ten years.
They are, Third Man confirms, “from recent sessions that will ultimately result in a new Raconteurs album in 2019”.
The Raconteurs are Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler.
