bulletin: via Stereogum: In May of 2021, the Black Keys released their country-blues covers album, Delta Kream. Now, hardly a year later, Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach are coming back with their 11th studio album, Dropout Boogie, out in May (one day before the 20th anniversary of the band’s debut album, The Big Come Up). Along with the news is lead single and album opener “Wild Child,” which features Reigning Sound’s Greg Cartwright and Kings Of Leon’s Angelo Petraglia.

Today, The Black Keys announce their World Tour of America. The band will perform three intimate shows in Oxford, MS, Athens, GA, and St Petersburg, FL, surrounding their performance at Pilgrimage Fest in Tennessee in late September. Special guest: Robert Finley.
A portion of each set will consist of songs from the band’s new album, Delta Kream.
Patrick said of these dates, which the band hopes to make a tradition: “Dan and I have joked about doing a tour of American cities named after other cities in the world since we were touring together in a van. It feels like now is as good a time as any and we are excited to play in some places we haven’t played since the early days of the band and for fans that have not had a chance to see us in a while.”

"One of the really fun things about The Black Keys is that they themselves are huge music fans," says NPR's World Cafe host Raina Douris of her guests. "Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney get excited talking about the artists who've influenced them, and today you will hear that excitement as we dive into the new Black Keys album, Delta Kream." You can hear their conversation here.
