Apr 30, 2026By returning to their sonic roots, The Black Keys sound revitalised, urgent and gloriously unrefined once again. [Jun 2026, p.72]
-
Apr 29, 2026Another album of homages, jammed fast and loose in early 2025 at Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound studio in the wake of a cancer diagnosis for the singer’s father Chuck – who died soon after on March 29. The urgency and catharsis in these tracks makes sense in that context, but there’s something else here: a deep connection with music, felt in every groove and texture. [Jun 2026, p.89]

UncutApr 29, 2026The live-off-the-floor Peaches! is the antithesis of 2024's overcooked Ohio Players, the duo's nadir, and a delectably scuzzy sequel to Delta Kream, complete with another seductively squalid William Eggleston cover photo. [May 2026, p.26]

Apr 30, 2026It’s one of their strongest of the 2020s and across their 25-year career.

Apr 29, 2026These versions often aren’t particularly explosive or even all that grabby. In some ways they’re kind of insular, exuding a pickup-hoops naturalism that adds to the music’s deep grind or brackish crunch.
-
May 8, 2026They don't try to reinvent the wheel here, largely sticking to the rootsy punk vibe of blown-out speaker vocals, overdriven guitar twang, and thumping drums. Yet, there are still some ear-popping moments.
-
May 4, 2026It mostly sounds like a dashed-off afterthought, a random jam sesh in Nashville, and, against Auerbach’s wishes, a perfunctory covers album.
