You've Found Yourself a Friend

Brendan Benson is an immense talent. His own albums have been superb and now he's working with Jack White of all people and the results are intriguing. Stereogum has more of the story and an MP3 here, but the short of it is that Brendan + Jack = The Raconteurs and one of the coolest band sites I've ever seen: definitely not to be missed. Plus, the music is worth at least a listen or two.

I guess the Raconteurs are starting off with this 7" and going from there with a full-length album finished and expected to be released sometime. NME has more.
