The collaborative team of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney has given the new Millennium a solid and genuine taste of Rock as it’s been enjoyed for decades. Formed a the turn of the new century, The Black Keys have released eight excellent albums of enduring music. Their last was issued in 2014 leaving – a his time – an insanity of a five-year drought for fans of the duo. With the drop of a single (“Lo/Fi”) recently, it was only a matter of time before the new album would be announced. The Black Keys has since offered a second single with “Eagle Birds”.
On June 28, The Black Keys will release ‘Let’s rock’ (a possible nod to the opening utterance from The Man From Another Place [the dancing, backward-talking dwarf on Twin Peaks], who announces himself with “Let’s rock”. One of the tracks is “Fire Walk With Me” which clues me in. A guess, though). Issued via Nonesuch Records, the new album will contain twelve new tracks.
‘Let’s rock’ will be released on CD, black vinyl LP, and a limited edition pink vinyl LP (only 7500 copies). The Black Keys will be undertaking a NA tour (with Modest Mouse) to support the new album.
