The Arcs: The New Side Project of Dan Auerbauch (The Black Keys)

Get ready for your next favorite rock and roll band. The Arcs are edgy, catchy and are going to blow you away. If you are a fan of The Black Keys, then you will certainly feel at home with The Archs. In an Interview with Rolling Stone, Auerbach said “These guys have equal input on all the songs. It’s a completely different thing than the Black Keys, where I write the lyrics, the chords and most of the melodies. Every song on this record is co-written with the whole band. That’s why I didn’t call it my name. I love being able to sit back and let songs evolve without me. It’s been a new experience.We weren’t thinking about making songs for radio, obviously. I’ve spent enough time thinking about that with the Black Keys, not that we ever wrote songs just for radio. I just don’t want to ever think about that stuff again. With the Arcs, we were just trying to make music that lives up to the kinds of standards that we love: old soul records, Captain Beefheart, newer hip-hop records. The songs are really experimental, but not over your head. I hate when people try to be so obviously out there.”

Check out their single Outta My Mind off of the LP, Yours, Dreamily.
