The Black Keys Peaches! (CD)

Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have spent the better part of two decades proving that two guys from Akron, Ohio could carry the weight of the whole blues-rock tradition on their backs. Peaches! finds them stripping back to instincts, chasing the same raw energy that fills those Record Hang nights, where the needle drops on a forgotten 45 and the room catches fire.

The Black Keys Peaches! is the Akron duos fourteenth studio album (their sixth since 2019), a visceral and raw 10-song collection described by singer Dan Auerbach as the bands most natural record since their 2002 debut, The Big Come Up. In similar DIY spirit, the album was recorded with all musicians playing in same room with few overdubs, as is the first record mixed entirely by the band themselves since 2006s Magic Potion. The songs chosen reflect Auerbach and bandmate Patrick Carneys obsessive record-collecting habit, which in recent years has escalated into an ongoing series of Record Hang DJ-set dance parties where they spin vintage 45s for packed, high-energy dancefloors in the coolest spots across the globe.

The cover art for Peaches! is based around an iconic image from Memphis-born photographer, William Eggleston, and marks the return of Patricks brother, Michael Carney, overseeing the art direction.
