Black Keys Announce 11th Studio Album Dropout Boogie, Share ‘Wild Child’

Titled Dropout Boogie, the collection is the band’s first album of originals since 2019’s Let’s Rock. Last year, the Keys released Delta Kream, an album of blues covers The Keys released their first single and its accompanying video for “Wild Child,” which is directed by longtime collaborator Bryan Schlam. The forthcoming album will feature collaborations with Billy F. Gibbons, Greg Cartwright, and Angelo Petraglia.   Dropout Boogie‘s release falls just one day before the 20th anniversary of The Big Come Up, the duo’s first studio album. The album strives to go back to the band’s roots of making stripped-down blues-rock music in basements in Ohio. “That’s always been the beauty of the thing Pat and I do. It’s instant,” Auerbach said in a statement. “We’ve never really had to work at it. Whenever we’d get together, we’d just make music, you know? We didn’t know what we were going to do, but we’d just do it and it would sound cool. It’s the natural chemistry Pat and I have. Being in a band this long is a testament to that. It was a real gift that we were given. I mean, the odds of being plopped down a block-and-a-half from each other in Akron, Ohio–it just seems crazy.” After the duo got together to set the groundwork for the album, Auerbach and Carney welcomed collaborators Billy F. Gibbons, Greg Cartwright, and Angelo Petraglia to Dropout Boogie sessions. Cartwright and Petraglia both appear on “Wild Child.” The album will be released on May 13 via Nonesuch, followed by a 32-date tour to promote the album this summer.
