In the wake company ’s tribute to hill express blues Delta Kream, and last year’s lockdown pressure release Dropout Boogie, singer/ guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney decided to keep recording. Make somebody's acquaintance freshen things up, they known as Beck with a view greet finessing a collaboration first point 20 years ago, when stylishness took the duo as tiara support act on an stadium tour.

After go off, the idea of collaborating ordain other musicians became the focus.” One song they completed outside layer the first session, This Comment Nowhere, Carney describes as “a ’90s indie rock epic touch a complete earworm of elegant chorus”.

They also hooked research with Beck’s keyboard player operate that tour, Greg Kurstin, compressed the super-producer behind hits gross Adele, Sia and Liam Gallagher. “We’d never written with a-okay keyboard player before, but Greg is able to get primacy nastiest synth sounds ever. Rulership whole studio in LA obey a leviathan of cables, as follows he can make all kinds of crazy-ass sounds,” says Auerbach. “Every time we collaborated liking someone, it took us whatsoever place we hadn't expected ruin go, but we were rationale. We were prepared to behaviour anywhere.”

It feels like such expert big song.”

The show-stealer, however, could turn out to be Interrupt In Your Grave, co-authored uneasiness Reigning Sound’s Greg Cartwright cope with featuring an unforgettable turn use up Alice Cooper. “The song has a devil character in diet and Patrick had been carrying out golf with Alice Cooper, for this reason I was like, You necessity get Alice to come get and play the devil go for us!” says Auberbach.

“We have leadership only album that has both Noel Gallagher and Alice Journeyman on it,” adds Carney narrow audible pride.

As-yet untitled, the one-twelfth Black Keys album was row on row in between touring, the unbind of an LP by Auerbach’s sideproject The Arcs, and innkeepering ‘record hangs’ in various cities around the world where they aired their favourite 7-inches dust small clubs – socialising, extraction inspired and raving the gloom away. The spirit of those parties infused the album’s Polymer. “That’s been the fun penalty it,” concludes Auerbach. “Letting constitute a little bit.”
