The Arcs by Alysse Gafkjen
It’ll be released by The Arcs on January 27th.
Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys has confirmed his first new album with The Arcs in eight years.
The focus of Electrophonic Chronic is all on Richard Swift – the multi-instrumentalist and producer who, along with The Arcs, had an association with many leading American artists before his untimely passing in 2018.
“This new record is all about honoring Swift,” Auerbach said. “It’s a way for us to say goodbye to him, by revisiting him playing and laughing, singing. It was heavy at times, but I think it was really helpful to do it.”
“Whether it was New York City or Nashville or L.A. or Swift’s hometown of Cottage Grove, Oregon, wherever we were, we would always get in the studio together.”
“It was our favorite thing to do. It’s rare that you meet a group of people that you click with like that, who you instantly bond with. We were just having fun, making sounds, making music. It was an amazing time for me.”
