The album promises a series of collaborations with artists like Noel Gallagher and Greg Kurstin, adding diverse flavors to The Black Keys' signature sound.

About "Ohio Players": Inspired by the legendary Dayton, OH funk band of the same name, "Ohio Players" is a testament to The Black Keys' evolution. The album reflects the fun and excitement of the duo's "record hangs" – DJing dance parties spinning eclectic 45s from their collection. It's infused with the spirit of these joyful gatherings.

A Band's Evolution: Formed in Akron, Ohio in 2001, The Black Keys have journeyed from small clubs to selling out arenas worldwide. With eleven studio albums, including hits like "El Camino" and "Turn Blue", they've established themselves as rock icons. "Ohio Players" marks a new chapter in their illustrious career.

A Record of Fun and Approachability: Carney shares, “What we wanted to accomplish with this record was make something that was fun... an approachable, fun record that is also cool.” This new album promises to be a blend of The Black Keys' classic rock essence with a refreshing, playful twist.
