    ‘Peaches!’ feels like a welcome return home for The Black Keys, a recapturing of sorts of their early energy.

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

    The 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]

    By returning to their sonic roots, The Black Keys sound revitalised, urgent and gloriously unrefined once again. [Jun 2026, p.72]

    These 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.

    They 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.

    It mostly sounds like a dashed-off afterthought, a random jam sesh in Nashville, and, against Auerbach’s wishes, a perfunctory covers album.
