Jack White-fronted The Raconteurs recently treated us with another new song from their upcoming studio effort Help Us Stranger. The track, titled “Help Me Stranger,” is the album’s fourth single after “Sunday Driver,” “Now That You’re Gone,” and “Hey Gyp (Dig the Slowness).”

The band also shared a music video for “Help Me Stranger,” which was directed by Yasuhiko Shimizu. The video shows the band playing the song in the studio but also features somewhat strange scenes that involve Jack White, a baby, and a telephone booth. Watch it below.

After taking a 10-year-long break from the studio, The Raconteurs announced back in December that they are working on a new album. It was later revealed that the record will be titled Help Us Stranger, and is scheduled for release on June 21st, 2019. The album will be available on CD and digital platforms while limited vinyl edition will also be released.

Following the album’s release, The Raconteurs will embark on a tour across North America; their first in eight years. The band will kick off the trip in Detroit on July 12th and will play 32 more shows before wrapping up the tour in St. Louis on October 18th.
