The Arcs' debut album is out now. "Yours, Dreamily, takes what [Dan] 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," writes Rolling Stone. "Right from the drop, Yours, Dreamily, ignites like a cigarette flicked on a stream of gasoline," raves NPR. It's "one of Auerbach's most ambitious and fully realized albums." Mojo says: "Auerbach delivers some of his hottest-ever guitar. This one, for sure, is a keeper." NME concludes: "Dan Auerbach never fails to impress."
