The former Black Keys frontman, Dan Auerbach has shared a new track – entitled ‘Outta My Mind’ – with his new band, The Arcs.

A press release for the record reads: “The Arcs collaboratively wrote and recorded 13 tracks for ‘Yours, Dreamily’ with the musicians playing a large array of roles both vocally and instrumentally… the album was recorded in roughly two weeks through spontaneous, informal sessions across the country.”
The Yours, Dreamily tracklist is as follows:
- ‘Once We Begin (Intro)’
- ‘Outta My Mind’
- ‘Put A Flower In Your Pocket’
- ‘Pistol Made Of Bones’
- ‘Everything You Do (You Do For You)’
- ‘Stay In My Corner’
- ‘Cold Companion’
- The Arc’
- ‘Nature’s Child’
- ‘Velvet Ditch’
- ‘Chains Of Love’
- ‘Come & Go’
- ‘Rosie (Ooh La La)’
- ‘Searching The Blue’
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Auerbach described the full-length LP as “extra weird.” He said: “It was cut really quick in a week and a half, two weeks of recording.I just wanted to do my thing and get extra weird… I wanted everything to flow [and]be cohesive. A lot of the songs bleed one into the other, a lot like the Grateful Dead – my favourite records that they did. So I’ve got a lot of connected songs. It’s basically everything I love about music all wrapped up into one record – that’s all!”
Yours, Dreamily is set to be released on 4th September. Listen to ‘Outta My Mind’ below:
