THE ARCS’ “YOUNG” PREMIERES ON RECORD STORE DAY WEBSITE
THE ARCS VS. THE INVENTORS VOL. I  FEATURING DR. JOHN AND DAVID HIDALGO
TO BE RELEASED ON BLACK FRIDAY
U.S. TOUR BEGINS DECEMBER 1   “Yours, Dreamily, takes what Auerbach does at his best, in and out of the Keys—confessional, texturally enriched blues propelled with garage-rock force—and adds a riveting jump in eccentricity.”—Rolling Stone ★★★★ Record Store Day premieres The Arcs’ new track “Young,” which was co-written by David Berman of the Silver Jews. The band’s Dan Auerbach says, “We’ve been meeting at night, writing together for a few years. This is the first time we’ve shared any of that. The Arcs have recorded more songs from the collaboration and we hope to release more of it very soon.” Take a look at the premiere here: http://bit.ly/1D1DUmu. The song appears on the band’s limited-edition six-song recording,  The Arcs vs. The Inventors Vol. I , featuring Dr. John and David Hidalgo. The 10” vinyl will be released on Friday, November 27 via Nonesuch Records as part of Record Store Day’s Black Friday event. A digital version of The Arcs vs. The Inventors Vol. I will be available for download on December 11. The disc is the first in a series of collaborative “Inventors” recordings to be released by The Arcs. Of the project Auerbach states, “This release was a chance to work with some of our favorite musicians and musical inspirations, guys who invented a world where The Arcs can coexist. We hope to build on these traditions as a band and plan to make collaborations with other ‘inventors’ an ongoing project.” The Black Friday release follows The Arcs’ debut album,  Yours, Dreamily , which was recently released to critical acclaim (purchase now at fine independent retail shops, iTunes, thearcs.com, and nonesuch.com). In support of the records, the band—which features Auerbach, Leon Michels, Richard Swift, Homer Steinweissand Nick Movshon along with special guests Mariachi Flor de Toloache—will embark upon their first U.S. tour this fall, with dates in December at Chicago’s The Vic, Akron’s Civic Theatre, New York’s Terminal 5, and Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, among others.
