Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler AKA The Saboteurs have released their brand-new single ‘Help Me Stranger’, the latest track to be released from their long awaited new album.
Last month, The Saboteurs (The Raconteurs outside of Australia) made their debut Australian appearance. The band finally brought our obsession with their records to life at Bluesfest Festival and at their sideshows in Melbourne and Sydney.
The Saboteurs’ Australian debut was always going to be one for the books but when the band announced these shows would see phones banned from the event, the excited hum got even louder.
The engaging experience resulted in reviews like this one from Tyler Jenke, and built anticipation further for Help Us Stranger.
Listen to ‘Help Me Stranger’ below:
Set for release on June 21 through Jack White’s Third Man, the LP will be the band’s first in 11 years. It will include previously released tracks ‘Hey Gyp (Dig The Slowness)’, ‘Now That You’re Gone’, ‘Sunday Driver’, and of course, new future-cult hit ‘Help Me Stranger’.
The Saboteurs have cooked up something special for their most avid fans
In partnership with Jack White’s Third Man Records, the band have announced a special independent record store exclusive white vinyl version of Help Us Stranger.
It comes with an alternate cover and hand screen printed LP jacket, as well as a limited quantity of strictly promotional, never-available-for-sale 7-inch test pressings of ‘Hey Gyp (Dig The Slowness)’ which will both be available on album release day, June 21. Check with your local record independent record stores for more information.
