Yours, Dreamily, is the debut album by the Arcs, a side-project by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. The album was released on September 4, 2015.[1]

Recording

[edit]

The album originated as an Auerbach solo project but morphed into a collaborative effort, with musicians Leon Michels, Richard Swift, Homer Steinweiss, and Nick Movshon. All members of the band share songwriting credit for the album. It was recorded over two weeks at the Sound Factory in Los Angeles, Electric Lady Studios in New York, Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound in Nashville, and the Sound Mine in New York. Auerbach and Michels co-produced the album, and Tchad Blake mixed it.[2] The New York-based all-female mariachi band Flor de Toloache perform backing vocals on several album tracks and the lead vocals on "Chains of Love".[3]

Promotion

[edit]

The first track released from the album was "Stay in My Corner", a song inspired by the May 2015 Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao boxing match.[4] "Stay in My Corner" was released as a special 7" vinyl record for the Mayweather-Pacquiao match and backed with the non-album track "Tomato Can".[5]

On June 9, 2015, the album was announced and "Stay in My Corner" was made available for download with pre-orders of the album via iTunes and the band's website.[1][4] One month later, on July 10, 2015, the track "Outta My Mind" was released for download as the second single from the album, and with the non-album track "My Mind" on 7" vinyl record.[2] A video for the song "Put a Flower in Your Pocket" was released in mid-August 2015.[6]
