The Black Keys Announce New Album Peaches!, Drop Song

"The Black Keys are keeping up their loose pattern of releasing an album every year; their newest, the enthusiastically titled , arrives May 1 via East Eye Sound/Warner. Leading the blues rock band's return is the single "You Got to Lose" and its music video directed by E.J. McLeavey-Fisher, in which the duo plays a surprise show at Memphis juke joint Hernando's Hide-A-Way. Check it out below."

""We weren't making a record. We were just jamming, like this is for us," Auerbach said in a press release. "Really primal, in a moment when all the nerves were raw, just kinda screaming. We were going through a lot, trying to lift our spirits. I think my dad getting sick made me not give a fuck and just wanna scream for a bit.""

Peaches! arrives May 1 via East Eye Sound/Warner as a 10-song album led by the single "You Got to Lose" and its music video set at Memphis juke joint Hernando's Hide-A-Way. The album is presented as the band at their most natural since their 2002 debut, The Big Come Up. Peaches! follows 2025's No Rain, No Flowers and represents the duo's 14th full-length release. Recording began as informal jams while coping with singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach's father's esophageal cancer and rapid decline, with sessions in Auerbach's Nashville home favoring a raw, primal sound.
