Album will be released in May 2026
Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney announced their new album PEACHES! to. The release date is scheduled for May 1, 2026. The announcement was made via the Easy Eye Sound/Parlophone Records label.
Two concert dates have also been announced as part of their tour, which will take place from May 1st to September 1st, 2026. After a few stops in the USA, the two will come to London and play at the Eventim Apollo on August 31st, 2026 and at the O2 Academy Brixton on September 1st. Tickets for both shows will be available from February 13, 2026 at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster.
New single with an emotional background
The new single “You Got To Lose” has an emotional background, especially for singer Dan Auerbach. In the song he sings: “You have to lose / You can’t always win…” The single was created at a time when the musician was caring for his now deceased father, who was suffering from cancer. Working on the song was an unspoken agreement between the duo, intended to give Dan Auerbach some distraction. “NME” reported on this.
Dan Auerbach said about the album: “We didn’t record an album. We just jammed, like, this is for us.” He continued: “Originally, in a moment when our nerves were frayed, we just screamed. We went through a lot and tried to cheer each other up. I think that my father’s illness made me not care about anything and just wanted to scream.”
