The Black Keys detail self-produced album, No Rain, No Flowers

Grammy-winning rock duo The Black Keys have announced their thirteenth studio album, No Rain, No Flowers, and release its title track.

Produced by the band themselves and recorded at Easy Eye Sound Studios in Nashville, the new album features collaborators including GRAMMY award-winning songwriters Rick Nowels and Daniel Tashian as well as legendary keys player/producer Scott Storch (Dr. Dre, The Roots).

"No Rain, No Flowers" marks the third official track released from the album, following "The Night Before" and "Babygirl".

The Black Keys took a different approach with No Rain, No Flowers, choosing to work more closely with long-admired songwriters than with performers.

“I had worked with Rick Nowels on Lana Del Rey’s Ultraviolence. We’d never really collaborated with a keyboard player or someone who writes on piano the way he does, but it clicked immediately,” explains Dan Auerbach. “We wanted to go straight to the source—into the room with people known for their songwriting. Daniel Tashian was one of the first people I met after moving to Nashville, and we’ve been fans of Scott Storch forever,” adds Patrick Carney.

Tracklist:

  1. No Rain, No Flowers
  2. The Night Before
  3. Babygirl
  4. Down to Nothing
  5. On Repeat
  6. Make You Mine
  7. Man On A Mission
  8. Kiss It
  9. All My Life
  10. A Little Too High
  11. Neon Moon

No Rain, No Flowers, will be released on 8 August via Easy Eye Sound/Parlophone Records, and is available to pre-order now.
