He showed up and he was so excited to be in the studio because it\u2019s filled with keyboards here. He said he\u2019d never really recorded with real instruments before \u2014 like harpsichords, vibes, tack pianos and stuff. So, he was like a kid in a candy shop. We hit it off and we had a lot of fun.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>More from Spin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/05\/foo-fighters-josh-freese\/\">Foo Fighters Part Ways With Drummer Josh Freese<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/05\/pavement-film-soundtrack-colbert\/\">Pavement Reveal \u2018Pavements\u2019 Soundtrack, Visit \u2018Colbert\u2019<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/05\/peter-baumanns-old-and-new-dreams\/\">Peter Baumann\u2019s Old and New Dreams<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The album\u2019s first single, \u201cThe Night Before,\u201d emerged as Carney, Auerbach and Tashian played drums, guitar and bass in a circle at Auerbach\u2019s Easy Eye Sound studio. \u201cIt came together so quickly that we overlooked it,\u201d said Auerbach. \u201cWhen we were playing the songs we had for people, it was the very last one we played to the record label. As soon as we played it, everyone unanimously said that should be the first single.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>No Rain, No Flowers<\/em> amounts to some positive fallout surrounding the release of 2024\u2019s\u00a0<em>Ohio Players<\/em>\u00a0and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2025\/02\/the-black-keys-summer-tour-album\/\">abrupt cancelation<\/a> of its supporting tour, during which Auerbach and Carney traded barbs with former manager Irving Azoff. \u201cWe put a lot of time into [that] album, and then it came out and some bullshit happened and we had to pivot,\u201d said Carney. \u201cSom we pivoted to where we feel most comfortable, which is back in the studio \u2014 make more music and just do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Black Keys will be on the road in North America beginning May 23 in Durant, Ok., and have dates on the books through Sept. 20 at Atlanta\u2019s Shaky Knees festival. \u201cThe fact we didn\u2019t get to tour last year, we hated it,\u201d Carney admitted. \u201cIt sucks for us, sucks for the fans. Also, the circumstances were bullshit. But at the end of the day, we did get to make another album. And it\u2019s something that we\u2019re proud of, and that will be a document that will exist long after we\u2019re gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"gFAXa7lpZmA\" style=\"bottom: 0; height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; max-width:100%;\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>To see our running list of the top 100 greatest rock stars of all time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2021\/07\/the-greatest-rock-stars-of-all-time\/?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=bottomlink&amp;utm_campaign=yahoolink\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Black Keys have landed on an Aug. 8 release date for their 13th album, No Rain, No Flowers, the title track from which is out now.
