New Black Keys: Stream ‘Eagle Birds,’ from Their New Album ‘Let’s Rock’ Due Out June 28

Everything about the Black Keys screams “straightforward” — they’re a two-piece blues/rock duo with a loud, robust sound, after all, so it makes perfect sense that their new album is titled, simply, Let’s Rock. The band’s ninth full-length, it will arrive on June 28 via Nonesuch Records.

Here’s “Eagle Birds,” a groove-laden new song premiered by the band on Thursday:

It’s the second song from the album previewed thus far, following “Lo/Hi” in early March:

Let’s Rock will feature 12 new songs:

1. “Shine A Little Light”
2. “Eagle Birds”
3. “Lo/Hi”
4. “Walk Across The Water”
5. “Tell Me Lies”
6. “Every Little Thing”
7. “Get Yourself Together”
8. “Sit Around And Miss You”
9. “Go”
10. “Breaking Down”
11. “Under The Gun”
12. “Fire Walk With Me”
