Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys

In the past few years, whenever he hasn’t been busy selling out arenas with his band partner Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney, Dan Auerbach has booked informal jam sessions with a loose group of friends including Menahan Street Band saxophonist Leon Michels. “These guys are my oldest musical buddies besides Pat,” says the singer-guitarist. “We just record shit for fun and sock it away.” Near the end of last year, Auerbach and Michels combed through those tracks to assemble Yours, Dreamily released September 4th, the debut of the band they dubbed the Arcs. Auerbach,  says he’s looking forward to their first tour this fall: “With these guys, we can try absolutely anything. Honestly, I have no idea how it’s going to go, but I’m so excited.”

The video for “Put a Flower in Your Pocket,” the grimy new single from The Arcs, a new band featuring Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, Leon Michels, Richard Swift, Homer Steinweiss, and Nick Movshon. The single, which premiered today on Zane Lowe’s Beats1 radio program, comes from Yours, Dreamily, out September 4th on Nonesuch Records.  Unsurprisingly, “Put a Flower in Your Pocket” is what we’ve come to expect from the likes of Auerbach and crew—dirty, bluesy soulful music with a reverbed, modern twist.

The video, which is animated, director Omar Juarez says: “My style is a combination of Chicano Art mixed with universal monsters, or more specifically the wolf man. The characters in the video are Rosie, the boxer, and the gangster. Rosie and the boxer are in their 20s and share equal interests in each other ever since they laid eyes on each other it was love at first sight. However, there is one big obstacle between them: Rosie’s boyfriend the gangster and his gangster lifestyle. After seeing her boyfriend cutting off the hand of the boxer for losing the biggest fight in his career, Rosie shot her boyfriend in retaliation and fled with the boxer. Unknowingly the gangster lived and came back to kill the boxer. Rosie being devastated took her own life to be with her love in the ghost world. GHOST LOVERS.”
