The Grammy and BRIT Award winning rock band The Black Keys today share new single, ‘The Night Before’. Out now via Easy Eye Sound / Warner Records, the track is accompanied by its official music video. The duo – Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney – wrote the song with the Grammy Award winning songwriter Daniel Tashian. The resulting track is airy and loose, with a sticky melody made all the more infectious by Auerbach’s soulful delivery and Carney’s crisp and funky beat. Dan Auerbach says, “It’s so groove-based. ‘The Night Before’ started with a chord progression that Daniel and I came up with and the rest just fell out. It was really collaborative and all came together in about 30 minutes.” Patrick Carney adds, “We’ve never really worked with songwriters like that in Nashville. It’s crazy because Daniel was one of the first people I met when I moved to town over a decade ago. But we pushed ourselves to bring in some new co-writers, and we really tapped into something cool with Daniel. We’re finishing up the album now and plan to release more tracks leading into the tour.” The accompanying video was directed by Running Bear, and follows hotel staff breaking all the rules as they raid a guest’s closet, drink the room’s alcohol, and dance through the halls. The Black Keys will release their 13th studio album, ‘No Rain, No Flowers’, via Easy Eye Sound / Warner Records later this year. ‘No Rain, No Flowers’ is an especially personal project for The Black Keys, who were forced to cancel their 2024 North American ‘International Players’ tour following an emotional dispute with their former management company. Now, with a fresh outlook, the duo have hit reset and crafted their most ambitious and adventurous album yet, braiding together the pair’s sprawling, eclectic musical influences. They’ll bring their revitalized energy to their upcoming tour where they’ll pull from their critically acclaimed two-decade deep catalogue. The Black Keys have already announced a run of major outdoor summer shows in the UK (with support from Miles Kane).The UK shows are listed below, please see HERE for ticket details and a list of all international dates: JULY 8th – Leeds, Millennium Square 9th – Manchester, Castlefield Bowl 11th – London, Alexandra Palace Park About The Black Keys: Formed in Akron, Ohio in 2001, The Black Keys are singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney.
