The Black Keys Announce New Album, Drop Title Track ‘No Rain, No Flowers’

One year after releasing their 12th studio album, Ohio Players, The Black Keys have now announced their follow-up: No Rain, No Flowers.

The rock duo of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney will drop their new 11-song album on Friday, August 8, via Easy Eye Sound/Parlophone. Pre-order/pre-save here, and hear the new single below, which is the album’s title track.

“We wanted to go straight to the source—into the room with people known for their songwriting. Daniel Tashian was one of the first people I met after moving to Nashville, and we’ve been fans of Scott Storch forever,” Auerbach said of recording the new album, via a press release shared by Stereogum.

“I had worked with Rick Nowels on Lana Del Rey’s Ultraviolence. We’d never really collaborated with a keyboard player or someone who writes on piano the way he does, but it clicked immediately,” he added, “This whole album was really labored over with a lot of love. We hope you feel that.”

An official description of the album reads: “No Rain, No Flowers delivers an eclectic sound shaped by the energy and spirit of the band’s wildly popular Record Hangs – dance parties where Auerbach and Carney take turns spinning rare, but truly potent cuts from their impressive collection of vinyl 45s for baying crowds of longtime fans and new converts alike.”

“These electrifying and carefully curated happenings have directly influenced the groove-driven, danceable vibe of the new record,” the album description adds, via NME.

“More than two decades into their career, The Black Keys consistently continue to create music on their own terms, fueled by instinct, passion, and a refusal to settle,” the album description concludes. “No Rain, No Flowers is a testament to the band’s deep commitment to their craft and their enduring creativity.”
