Yours, Dreamily Album Of The Week: The Arcs’ Yours, Dreamily, I have a confession to make. After multiple attempts, I never got into The Black Keys’ Turn Blue that came out last year. I found a lot of the album boring without a lot of the trademark emphatic grooves from the duo’s past in their latest release. One thing I do love right now is the debut album from Dan Auerbach’s side project The Arcs. Yours, Dreamily, is a refreshing record that has renewed my faith in Auerbach’s songwriting. The aura of psychedelic blues is all over The Arcs’ sound and you’re going to love it. The Arcs originally started as an Auerbach solo release and then Leon Michels, Richard Swift, Homer Steinweiss and Nick Movshon started collaborating with Auerbach on his newly written material. It all added up to this incredible album that has spine tingling solos and a hypnotizing tone that’ll get you hooked in an instant. The vintage vibe comes from the album being recorded at legendary spots like The Sound Factory in Los Angeles and Electric Lady Studios in New York City along with award-winning record producer and audio engineer Tchad Blake on mixing duties. The Arcs will take you on a crazy musical voyage with their debut, so you better hop on in and enjoy the ride. Maybe Auerbach will be influenced by the experience of making The Arcs’ debut and it’ll carry over into the next Black Keys’ album? I personally would love to hear something close to 2008’s Attack & Release. Anyways, for a handy little guide on what to listen to before anything else, here are my top tracks off of the Album Of The Week. The intro to “Put a Flower in Your Pocket” has a lot of soul and fuzz; lyrically it presents an interesting way of handling conflicts. Another cool number is “Outta My Mind.” This one will make you dance with itty bitty little strums from Auerbach’s guitar while the bass holds everything together and gets groovy with the drums. There’s a ’60s pop vibe with “Velvet Ditch” that is incredible,;you have a trumpet and a piccolo resonating awesomeness during what is one of the most unique tracks on the album. So far, The Arcs’ only date in the States is at The Bowery Ballroom in New York City on September 26 before they head to Europe for a few dates. What a bummer, huh? Let’s hope Auerbach’s new project heads over to our neck of the woods in New England before he moves back to doing something with Patrick Carney in The Black Keys. While we wait patiently, grab a copy of Yours, Dreamily, from The Arcs — a heavy dose of rock ‘n’ roll that’s just right for your ears.

  • I Black Keys Ritornano Con Il Loro Nono Album Let's
    GIOVEDì 27 GIUGNO 2019 Il nono album dei Black Keys, "Let's Rock," sarà pubblicato venerdì 28 Giugno 2019 su etichetta Easy Eye Sound/Nonesuch Records. L'attesissimo album, il loro primo in cinque anni, è un ritorno a I Black Keys ritornano con il loro quel rock diretto degli inizi della band composta dal cantante e nono album Let's Rock in uscita chitarrista Dan Auerbach e dal batterista Patrick Carney. Dice Auerbach, venerdì 28 giugno "Quando stiamo insieme, siamo i Black Keys, che è la nostra vera magia, la stessa di quando avevamo sedici anni." Prima della pubblicazione di "Let's Rock", i Black Keys hanno reso disponibili tre tracce, Lo Hi il primo singolo, Eagle Birds e Go, l'attuale singolo in radio. Il divertentissimo video che accompagna Go, nel quale Auerbach e CRISTIAN PEDRAZZINI Carney prendono in giro se stessi e le vicissitudini che hanno preceduto la registrazione di "Let's Rock", ha totalizzato quasi 3.000.000 di visualizzazioni su YouTube. "Let's Rock" è stato scritto, registrato in presa diretta e prodotto da Auerbach e Carney agli studi Easy Eye Sound di Nashville e si avvale [email protected] delle backing vocal di Leisa Hans e Ashley Wilcoxson. "Il disco è una SPETTACOLINEWS.IT specie di omaggio alla chitarra elettrica," dice Carney. "Lo abbiamo realizzato con un approccio semplice senza troppi fronzoli, come eravamo soliti fare." Il tour americano di "Let's Rock" partirà il 23 Settembre da Denver e due giorni prima, i Black Keys saranno gli headliner del festival Life Is Beautiful a Las Vegas.

WBC TO PICKET BLACK KEYS AND MODEST MOUSE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24TH, 6:00PM AT KANSAS CITY’S SPRINT CENTER Black Keys, made up of the God hating duo Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney are heading to Kansas City. This pair shows neither shame nor remorse for the way they have treated their real (first) wives, and now live in sin with women who are not their wives, pretending that life is good. “Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away.” (Mal 2:15-16) Black Keys will be joined by indie rock band Modest Mouse, whose lead singer Isaac Brock stated "I'm 100 percent on the whole christianity thing being a crock of shit, pretty much". Black Keys and Modest Mouse have nothing to offer anybody. Zero, zilch, nought, nada. God willing, WBC will be in Kansas City to inject some Bible into their tour. These sin teachers will continue to infect the minds of many, so we look for any responsive soul who will not be numbered with the multitude, and would rather refuse the evil, and choose the good.

  • Musica: Esce Eagle Birds,Secondo Singolo Dei the Black Keys
    Cultura - Musica: esce Eagle Birds,secondo singolo dei The Black Keys Roma - 28 apr 2019 (Prima Pagina News) La seconda traccia del nuovo album “Let’s Rock” del duo americano. Dan Auerbach e Patrick Carney, in arte The Black Keys, rilasciano il secondo brano “Eagle Birds” del nuovo album “Let’s Rock”, in uscita prevista per il 28 giugno 2019. L’album è stato prodotto e registrato dalla band americana di Akron presso lo studio Eye Sound del cantante/chitarrista Dan Auerbach. Dopo aver rievocato nella nostra memoria la sonorità dei Foghat con il primo brano “Lo/Hi”, la seconda traccia anticipa la coerenza stilistica del nuovo album con i precedenti. Eagle Birds racconta di due aquile che volano in alto alla ricerca di un amore reale che le sollevi ancora di più; come il power duo della band confessa in un’intervista: “Quando siamo insieme, siamo i Black Keys, ed è lì che si trova la vera magia.” Il pezzo si apre su un sipario di distorsioni elettriche che conferiscono al brano uno stile rock puro e indipendente; più dannato e meno “pop.” Per il momento vengono meno le tastiere che patinavano tracce come “Lonely Boy” ed “Howlin’ For You” e si sposta in seconda linea una leggera batteria che lascia spazio alla chitarra elettrica energica e graffiante. D’altro canto, come dichiara espressamente Dan Auerbach: “Il disco è un omaggio alla chitarra elettrica. Abbiamo avuto un approccio semplice ed eliminato tutto il grasso, come al solito.” di Luca Di Piazza Domenica 28 Aprile 2019 Verbalia Comunicazione S.r.l.
