The Arcs
The Arcs is a side project of Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys.
Whereas he is primarily responsible for the music in his prominent duo, the Arcs is a collaboration between his other bandmates.
The album Yours, Dreamily is due in September.
We have two of the songs.
“Stay in My Corner”
“Otta My Mind”
Hanni El Khatib
Singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Hanni El Khatib is a San Francisco garage-rocker, now based in L.A.
He moved quickly from creative director for a skateboard company to full-time musician when Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys took notice and produced his 2nd album.
His 3rd, Moonlight, is brand new as we listen to the song “Melt Me”.
Turbo Fruits
Turbo Fruits is a rock band out of Nashville led by Jonas Stein, formerly of the band Be Your Own Pet.
Their 4th album No Control comes to us in the early spring.
“The Way I Want You”, the 1st single, produced by Patrick Carney of The Black Keys, is a sweet taste.
Valerie June
Valerie June is a soulful blues artist from Memphis.
She’s self-released 3 bootleg albums in the past but her latest Pushin’ Against the Stone is considered her debut.
Produced in part by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, “You Can’t Be Told” is featured.
The Black Keys
Expect the new The Black Keys album El Camino in early December.
Their 2010 album Brothers, featuring the song “Tighten Up”, was one of the best of the year.
The boys from Akron return with “Lonely Boy”, the tremendous first single.
