In a further swipe at the face of Music Industry giants, The Raconteurs have announced the release of their sophomore album… next Tuesday.
No promoting.
“March 25 became the soonest date to have it available in EVERY FORMAT AT ONCE. The band have done no interviews or advertisements for this record before this announcement.
The group added that they wanted the sudden release so that everyone, fans and media, got the record at the same time “so that no one has an upper hand on anyone else regarding it’s availability, reception or perception.”
–as stated in an NME article
The 14-track album (which was finished about a week ago) will be released March 25.
