When The Saboteurs announced that they would be returning with their first new record in eleven years, the excitement was palpable. That day has finally come, folks.
The Saboteurs are back with their third record, Help Us Stranger. A record that is exactly what you need it to be. You can stream it below.
Listen: The Saboteurs – Help Us Stranger
We loved the record so much we reviewed it, read an excerpt of what we had to say below, or check out the whole thing here:
At 41 minutes and 25 seconds, Help Us Stranger sits nicely in the middle ground between their Broken Boy Soldiers debut and 2008’s Consolers Of The Lonely. More commercially-accessible than the former, and much snappier than the latter, this new record undoubtedly proves that after a few years away from the recording studio, The Saboteurs are still the same band they’ve always been.
Featuring some of the best music made by Jack White, Brendan Benson, Patrick Keeler, and Jack Lawrence in years, this album is undoubtedly one of the year’s best, and will easily go down in history as one of the finest blues-rock albums of all time.
The Saboteurs recently graced Australian plains as part of Bluesfest Festival. They’ll be taking their new record on the road for a bunch of North American dates, find out if they’re playing in a city near you below.
