Black Keys Explore Raw Emotion on New Album 'Peaches!'

The Black Keys are releasing their latest album, titled "Peaches!", on May 1 via East Eye Sound/Warner. This 10-track album is being presented as the band's most natural sound since their 2002 debut, "The Big Come Up".

The impetus for "Peaches!" came during a difficult personal time for singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach, whose father was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Auerbach shared that the recording sessions were initially just jamming, a primal release of raw emotion and a way to cope with grief and stress.
