The Black Keys have unveiled details of their ninth album.
‘Let’s Rock’ is due for release on June 28 via Easy Eye Sound/Nonsuch Records. Their first record for five years, it’s set to be a return to simple guitar rock, more like the early days of the band.
Vocalist and guitarist Dan Auerbach said:“When we’re together we are The Black Keys, that’s where that real magic is, and always has been since we were sixteen.” Patrick Carney added that “the record is like a homage to electric guitar. We took a simple approach and trimmed all the fat like we used to.”
The second cut, Eagle Birds, follows on from the lead single Lo/Hi, and as expected, is a thriving piece of classic blues rock following the typical 12 bar structure, accompanied by archetypal backing vocals in the chorus. As the album’s title would suggest, they’re definitely rocking.
‘Let’s Rock’ tracklist:
1. Shine A Little Light
2. Eagle Birds
3. Lo/Hi
4. Walk Across The Water
5. Tell Me Lies
6. Every Little Thing
7. Get Yourself Together
8. Sit Around And Miss You
9. Go
10. Breaking Down
11. Under The Gun
12. Fire Walk With Me
