After a stunning journey through ten albums, including multiple top 10 hits and six Grammy awards, The Black Keys return with their eleventh studio album, Dropout Boogie. Set to release on May 13 via Nonesuch Records, this album showcases the duo’s signature sound that has captivated fans worldwide.
Dubbed “America’s Most Trusted Band” by Stephen Colbert, The Black Keys are renowned for their raw, electrifying rock music. Their first single, “Wild Child,” is already making waves, accompanied by a compelling video directed by longtime collaborator Bryan Schlam. Dropout Boogie features exciting collaborations with rock legends such as Billy F. Gibbons (ZZ Top), Greg Cartwright (Reigning Sound), and Angelo Petraglia (Kings of Leon).
In a nostalgic nod to their roots, Auerbach and Carney recorded much of this album in their Nashville studio, capturing the essence of their early blues rock vibes. This album marks a pivotal moment as it celebrates the twentieth anniversary of their debut, The Big Come Up. Notably, it’s the first time the duo has invited multiple contributors to join in their creative process, enriching the album’s sound.
Stay tuned for the complete track listing and prepare to dive into one of the best rock music albums of 2023 with Dropout Boogie.
