The Raconteurs release Salute Your Solution, the first single to be taken from their second album, Consolers Of The Lonely which was released through XL records last week.

The creative spark for the record was ignited during the time the band spent touring in 2006. Songwriters Brendan Benson (guitars, vocals, keys) and Jack White (guitars, vocals, keys) utilized their time on the road wisely, using sound checks and live shows as a chance to experiment and elaborate on their sound.

Having recorded their first album before they'd ever played a show, The Raconteurs found that the time spent performing together gave them an opportunity to dig deeper into the songs. With the stellar rhythm section of Jack Lawrence (bass, vocals) and Patrick Keeler (drums) they gave every track from their repertoire a vigorous workout on stage, sometimes spinning it into an almost entirely new creation.

The Raconteurs chose to forgo the usual 3 month set-up time for marketing and publicity in order "to get the album to the fans as soon as possible and as we promised."
