Almost exactly one year after the Black Keys released their last album “Delta Kream”, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney will release a new one. “Dropout Boogie” is out May 13th via Nonesuch Records. The album features collaborations with ZZ Top’s Billy F. Gibbons, Reigning Sound and Oblivians’ Greg Cartwright, and Kings of Leon’s Angelo Petraglia. Check out the Bryan Schlam–directed video for “Wild Child,” which features Cartwright and Petraglia.
The new album’s release falls near the 20th anniversary of the band’s first album “The Big Come Up“. “It’s the natural chemistry Pat and I have,” Auerbach said in a statement. “Being in a band this long is a testament to that. It was a real gift that we were given. I mean, the odds of being plopped down a block-and-a-half from each other in Akron, Ohio–it just seems crazy.”
