The coupling of Brendan Benson and Jack White goes from strength to strength. ‘Hands’ opens with big power chord riffs reminiscent of AOR stadium antics, before settling on Beatles-esque versus with a psychedelic twist on the choruses. But the surprise element is when ‘Hands’ breaks down about 2 minutes in, then goes off on a wind up tangent, before crashing back in with more gusto than ever. Try and catch The Raconteurs at Reading or Leeds, you’ll be in for a treat.
