Earlier this year, the Black Keys announced the No Rain, No Flowers Tour. Soon after, they released the singles “The Night Before” and “Babygirl.” Now, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have announced the new album No Rain, No Flowers. The duo’s follow-up to 2024’s Ohio Players is out August 8 (Easy Eye Sound/Warner). Listen to the new album’s title song below.
The Black Keys produced No Rain, No Flowers, and they worked on it with Rick Nowels, Daniel Tashian, and Scott Storch. “I had worked with Rick Nowels on Lana Del Rey’s Ultraviolence,” Auerbach said in a statement. “We’d never really collaborated with a keyboard player or someone who writes on piano the way he does, but it clicked immediately.”
Carney added, “We wanted to go straight to the source—into the room with people known for their songwriting. Daniel Tashian was one of the first people I met after moving to Nashville, and we’ve been fans of Scott Storch forever.”
The No Rain, No Flowers Tour officially begins on Friday, May 23, in Durant, Oklahoma. The band will stay on the road through September.
