The Black Keys’ ninth studio album, Let’s Rock, will be released June 28, 2019 via Easy Eye Sound/Nonesuch Records. The long-awaited album, their first in five years, is a return to the straightforward rock of the singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney’s early days as a band. Let’s Rock was written, tracked live, and produced by Auerbach and Carney at Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville. The record is like a homage to electric guitar, says Carney. We took a simple approach and trimmed all the fat like we used to. Rolling Stone named initial single Lo/Hi a Song You Need to Know and the New York Times called the song the kind of garage-boogie stomp that the band never left behind. Formed in Akron, Ohio in 2001, The Black Keys have released eight studio albums, won six Grammy Awards and headlined festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Governors Ball.
