Pitchfork: Exclusive: Raconteurs Unveil Debut LP Tracklist

Exclusive: Raconteurs Unveil Debut LP Tracklist

As the lovechild of Jack White, Brendan Benson, and the Greenhornes' Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler, it's no surprise that the Raconteurs like to do things big. Today, they release the "Steady, As She Goes" / "Store Bought Bones" single in the States.

But that's not it. Today, Pitchfork has also learned the tracklist for their debut album, Broken Boy Soldiers, due May 16 via Third Man/V2. It features the colors yellow and blue, but not red and white.

Broken Boy Soldiers:

01 Steady, As She Goes
02 Hands
03 Broken Boy Soldier
04 Intimate Secretary
05 Together
06 Level
07 Store Bought Bones
08 Yellow Sun
09 Call It A Day
10 Blue Veins

As previously reported, the Raconteurs have a few UK tour dates scheduled as a warm up for a question mark of a US tour.

What we know:

03-20 Liverpool, England - Academy 2
03-21 Glasgow, Scotland - ABC
03-22 Newcastle, England - Stage 2
03-23 London, England - Astoria

The White Stripes are also on the road, winding down a short rain check tour in Japan. The dates were originally set to take place in January, but Mr. White suffered "an acute vocal chord program". Oh noes.

Zepp:

03-08 Nagoya, Japan - Zepp
03-09 Osaka, Japan - Zepp

Jack White has also been busy guzzling hatorade lately, as he lashed out on the White Stripes' website against a number of targets, including garage-rock stalwart Billy Childish, bloggers, thieving record labels, and, yes, Pitchfork.

We got dissed by Jack White! How cool is that? Beef with 50 Cent is right around the corner.
