Thursday, 30 August

The Black Keys will record a new album in 2013. The duo confirmed they have already started writing for the new record, the follow-up to last year's El Camino. "Early next year we've got some time blocked to make a new record," explained Dan Auerbach. "It's full on." The frontman added that the band are still coming to terms with the new level of success they've enjoyed, which saw them announce a UK arena tour for the winter, this week. "It's weird. We were successful before Brothers came out but it's a different level now," he said. "It's just odd. I don't really know how to describe it."
