The Raconteurs Consolers of the Lonely On 2 x 180g Vinyl LP Set
The Ranconteurs are a new band made up of old friends, consisting of Jack Lawrence, Patrick Keeler, Brendan Benson and the inimitable Jack White. The seed was sewn in an attic in the middle of a hot summer when friends Jack White and Brendan Benson got together and wrote a song that truly inspired them. The inspiration led to a creation of a full band with the addition of Lawrence and Keeler. While each of these four individuals have had successful careers with their own bands, the culmination of all of their talents is what truly makes The Raconteurs a force to be reckoned with.
While retaining all the characteristics that defined The Raconteurs’ first album, Consolers of the Lonely contains more than a few
surprises. The bluesy, searing guitar riffs. And great story-telling are at the forefront. Patrick Keeler's drums sound reminiscent of Meg White’s plating, with crashing cymbals adding a primal quality to the numbers. Jack White seems to have moved his analog obsession into a sound that perfectly suits his second band. This album, recorded in analog, on vinyl is beautifully packaged and incredible sounding; with plenty of huge riffs to enjoy at the summer festivals!

Consolers of the Lonely is the second album by American rock band The Raconteurs. It was released on March 25, 2008 on Warner Bros. Records in most parts of the world, and a day earlier on XL Recordings in the UK.
The band did no promotion before the album's release, and its existence was only confirmed a week before. Even so, the record was accidentally leaked by itunes, and some fans managed to purchase the album early. It is available on CD,vinyl, and MP3. A video for the first single from the album, "Salute Your Solution" was released on the same day. The album earned a nomination for Best Rock Album at the 51st
The band premiered "Five on the Five" during their last tour. The title of the record comes from the inscription in the side of a Washington, D.C. post office written by Charles William Eliot which reads in full:
According to the band, the album was finished during the first week in March and was released less than three weeks later. For a band of their stature, the release of Consolers of the Lonely with no promotion was highly unorthodox. Music critics and commentators largely saw it as a way to eschew critics and deal directly with fans. The Observer called it "one of the most exciting musical events of 2008." Despite the already rapid release time and efforts to secure the date, the record was briefly available for purchase on iTunes Friday, March 21. The album debuted at #7 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling about 42,000 copies in its first week. It debuted at #8 on the UK Album Chart, #4 on the Canadian Album Chart, and #50 on the Australian ARIA chart on April 7, 2008, based on digital downloads. However, the CD was released on April 5, thus allowing the album the next week to ascend 32 places to reach its peak position thus far of #18 due to physical sales.
