Stream The Arcs’ Grateful Dead-Inspired Debut Album ‘Yours, Dreamily’

On September 4 The Black Keys front man Dan Auerbach will release Yours, Dreamily, the debut album of his new side project The Arcs. The group features Auerbach alongside Leon Michels, Richard Swift, Homer Steinweiss, Nick Movshon, Kenny Vaughan and Mariachi Flor de Toloache. NPR Music has shared a stream of the album a week ahead of its release.

The side project and album were announced by Rolling Stone a few months back when Auerbach revealed the LP was in part inspired by the Grateful Dead. “I just wanted to do my thing and get extra weird,” Auerbach told Rolling Stone. “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 favorite 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.”
