The Black Keys Announce New Album 'Dropout Boogie'
Watch a video for new single "Wild Child"
As for new offerings, the latest batch of Keys material is being previewed today by lead single "Wild Child," which arrives alongside a music video directed by Bryan Schlam.
The track features new collaborators Greg Cartwright and Angelo Petraglia — who, including ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, were among the select few to join the duo at Dan Auerbach's Nashville-based Easy Eye Sound studio for the DB sessions.
"Living in Nashville and making records here has opened both of our minds to that experience a little bit more," Auerbach said in a statement. "I knew Pat [Carney] would love working with both of these guys, so we decided we'd give it a shot."
He continued: "It was the first time we'd ever really done that. It was fun as hell. We just sat around a table with acoustic guitars and worked out a song ahead of time."
Added Carney, "The cool thing with Greg is that he wants to approach stuff with a story in mind — there's a plot, almost."
Not much else has been revealed about the album so far, so hang tight for further details. In the meantime, watch the video for "Wild Child" below.
