Fortunately for us, Dan Auerbach just can’t seem to stop making music.
The inordinately talented Auerbach has worked with everyone from Dr. John to Lana Del Rey, all while powering one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. Now the Black Keys frontman has added a fresh entry to his extensive musical resumé: The Arcs.
Auerbach’s new band has shared “Stay In My Corner,” the first single from Yours, Dreamily, their forthcoming debut. The album is now set for a Sept. 4 release via Nonesuch Records. If the irresistibly polished sound of “Stay In My Corner” is any indication, The Arcs might be Auerbach’s best side project yet.
“I will fight for you if you fight for me too,” Auerbach croons on the boxing-inspired track, which originally went out on a 7-inch vinyl, along with another cut called “Tomato Can,” on May 2, the day of the Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao bout. According to Rolling Stone, Auerbach himself is an avid boxer who often spars in his garage and backstage before shows.
