Music: Raconteurs Celebrate the Change of Seasons by Springing New Album on Unsuspecting Public

Jack White's other band, you know, the one he sneaks into motels with for a little string-bending while Meg's not around, has stunned the music world by announcing their new album Consolers of the Lonely will be released next Tuesday. Amazingly the set was only finished on March 1st. There will be no preview for the media.

Presumably The Raconteurs are taking this unusual task to replicate the old days of records being released without leaking onto the net and being consumed as a whole by excited fans eager to hear the next note from their favorite band.
