You have to hand it to Jack White, he figured out a way to keep his record from leaking, well at least from leaking weeks in advance. After the last White Stripes album was played in its entirety on a radio station 2 weeks prior to its release date, Jack was pretty upset, but he finally figured out how to stop such shenanigans - bring the record to the distrbutor as soon as it’s finished and ask them to release it as soon as it’s pressed. So, the album was finished in the first week of March and Consolers of the Lonely will be at retail March 25th. Do bands even need the months of promotion an album gets between the time it is finished and the time it gets released? I mean hell, Maxim is gonna write a review whether they hear the album or not, so fuck em.
The love title.
I think promotion has changed so much in the past couple of years, gone from months to weeks almost. Which for my attention span works.
I shall have to come back later and check out the links.
You should definitely check out Many Shades of Black, I think you will like it.
