Jack White's band gear up for sophomore release

The Raconteurs have announced that they have nearly completed recording their new album.

Jack White's side project, which also features Brendan Benson along with The Greenhornes' Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler, has been in Nashville's Blackbird studio working on the follow-up to 2006's 'Broken Boy Soldiers'.

In a posting yesterday (February 14) on their MySpace page, the band wrote, "The Raconteurs are currently finishing up their second album in nashville, tn. They promise to release it as soon as they can."

No further details were revealed.
