The Black Keys Releasing Deluxe Version Of ‘Brothers’ In December
The Black Keys are set to release Brothers (Deluxe Remastered Anniversary Edition), an expanded version of their watershed multi-Platinum sixth studio album, on Dec. 18 in the U.S. and Canada, and on Jan. 1, 2021 in all other territories via Nonesuch Records, on which the record is newly available throughout the world.
Brothers, originally released on May 18, 2010, was largely recorded at the famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama. It was a career breakthrough for The Black Keys, receiving critical praise and earning three Grammy Awards for the project. The album title highlighted a revived bond between the longtime bandmates and childhood neighbors, who had been through challenging times personally and professionally.
“I was thinking about what the record meant to me—how Dan and I had gone through this shit that brothers go through where you don’t get along, but then you do get along and realize it’s an unconditional love,” said the BK’s Patrick Carney. The title was reminiscent of one of Auerbach’s favorite Allman Brothers albums, too: “As soon as Pat suggested it, I loved it.”
In celebration of the project’s tenth anniversary, Brothers will be re-released with three added bonus songs: “Keep My Name Outta Your Mouth,” “Black Mud Part II,” and “Chop and Change.” It will be available in three formats: a 7” box set, a 2-LP set, and CD. This will be the first in an annual series of archival releases from the band.
