THE ARCS (Dan Auerbach side project) Yours, Dreamily (Nonesuch) “This project was about making music with some of my longest relationships in music,” Auerbach previously said of his latest venture. “Leon, Richard and I have not only worked in the Black Keys together, but we have produced together, played on various projects of each other’s and we’ve collaborated longer than a lot of bands stay together. It just kind of came naturally.” Yours Dreamily follows the Black Keys’ most recent album, last year’s Turn Blue. In 2009, Auerbach released his debut as a solo artist, Keep It Hid. www.thearcs.com
