The Black Key's Dan Auerbach is revealing his side project the Arcs with a new album.  "Yours, Dreamily" comes out on September 4th.  (You can pre-order the album now at www.thearcs.com). Auerbach's four longtime musician buddies in the Arcs are Leon Michels, Richard Swift, Homer Steinweiss, Nick Movshon, and Kenny Vaughan.  Dan says that "they're trying to make music that lives up to the standards valued by everyone in the band: old soul records, Captain Beefheart, and newer hip-hop records".  On many of the albums tracks, 'The Arcs' are joined by the Brooklyn-based, all female mariachi band Mariachi Flor de Toloache.

The Arcs are planning to tour North America for two months in the fall. Dates to be released soon.  Here is the first listen to new music from that album, a song written about the recent Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao fight.
