The Raconteurs – members Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler – have released their long-awaited new album, HELP US STRANGER; the band’s third studio LP and first new album in more than a decade.

With HELP US STRANGER, The Raconteurs have returned right when they are needed most, unified and invigorated with boundless ambition, infinite energy and a collectivist spirit operating at the peak of its considerable powers, once again creating a sound and fury only possible when all four of its members come together.
