The Black Keys have announced new album ‘Peaches!’, due out on 01 May 2026 via Easy Eye Sound/Parlophone Records.

The Grammy Award-winning rock duo have also revealed new single ‘You Got To Lose’ alongside an official music video directed by E.J. McLeavey-Fisher, which centres around the band playing a surprise show at the legendary Memphis juke joint, Hernando’s Hide-A-Way, last month.

WATCH HERE:

‘Peaches!’ will be the band’s fourteenth studio album to date and is a visceral and raw 10-song collection described by singer Dan Auerbach as the band’s “most natural record” since their 2002 debut, ‘The Big Come Up’.

The project was born in the wake of Auerbach’s late father’s diagnosis of esophageal cancer, as he was staying in Dan’s Nashville home, in rapid decline. Patrick Carney, Dan’s Black Keys bandmate and oldest, closest friend, knew without asking “that it would be good for Dan to have something to do.” That something, of course, was to head into the studio and crank up the amps.

“We weren’t making a record. We were just jamming, like this is for us,”Dan Auerbach says. “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.”

In similar DIY spirit to their debut, the album was recorded with all musicians playing in the same room with very few overdubs, and is the first album mixed entirely by the band themselves since 2006s ‘Magic Potion’.

“Everything was all cut live in one with no separation, including vocals,” adds Patrick Carney. “It was a nightmare to mix but we got it sounding raw and filthy.”

“Shitty is pretty”, Dan adds.
