The Raconteurs – Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence & Patrick Keeler – have announced two new songs, their first taste of new music in over 10 years.

‘Now That You’re Gone’ (which features Benson on lead vocals) and ‘Sunday Driver’ (with Jack White on lead) were both born during the recent sessions from the band’s long-awaited new Raconteurs album, due for release sometime in 2019. “We’re knee deep in the trenches of our first new album in a decade” says White- “We have a vast amount of genre-pushing songs that bridge the gap between Detroit and Nashville rock and roll. The album sounds like a World War. It’s great to be co-writing songs with Brendan Benson again, the man is a song craftsman.”
