Dan Auerbach's The Arcs Weigh In On Drake vs. Meek Mill Beef & Discuss Chinatown Hood Passes Within "Outta My Mind" (Nonesuch Records)
"Now accepting all reasonable offers for Nick's
Honda
. Contact
The Arcs
or
Eddie Huang
. Oh yeah... and new
Arcs
video drops this Tuesday... Go get the album too!! Bump it in your new
Honda
?"

wrote on
Saturday accompanying a brief 30-second trailer advertising their then-forthcoming
"Outta My Mind"
music video, as well as director
Nick Walker
's
Honda
. It would appear to be a purposely lo-fi, back seat-shot clip in which two unspecified
Arcs
members discuss the prospect of the brief hybrid trailer-web ad, which Walker commissioned that "might help save us;" anyone interested in buying
Nick Walker
's
Honda
can either contact
The Arcs
directly or apparent
Dan Auerbach
affiliate and
Fresh Off The Boat
creator,
. "These are people that I either met in the studio, or was a fan of the records that they made before I even met them...
Richard Swift
, I met him six years ago; we made a record together, and we've been great friends and made music ever since,"
Dan Auerbach
recently told
in their
Yours, Dreamily
-centric profile.
Dan Auerbach
's second proper "solo" album,
Yours, Dreamily,
is now available in a number of formats on
Black Keys
-affiliated label,
Nonesuch Records
.
"And
Leon Michels
— every single day I was listening to this record by
Lee Fields
called
My World
. It just inspired me so much. And that was Leon —
Leon, Nick [Movshon]
, and
Homer [Steinweiss]
, they made that record together. So, it's weird how it's always been so connected," Auerbach further elaborated on the rather organic conception of
The Arcs
.
14 contained experimental-leaning tracks were recorded in over just two weeks at studios in
Los Angeles
, Nashville,
Manhattan
, and Queens and Auerbach says they were inspired by "old
Soul
records,
Captain Beefheart
, [and] newer
Hip-Hop
records."
Leon Michels
, Richard Swift,
Home Steinweiss
, and Nick Movshon have all previously worked alongside
Dan Auerbach
on records he produced for the likes of
Lana del Rey
, Ray LaMontagne,
Dr. John
, and even main band
The Black Keys'
critically-acclaimed 2010 effort,
Brothers
.

"Put a Flower In Your Pocket,"
"Outta My Mind"
is a trippy, psychedelic color blotted sensory experience; wherein
Dan Auerbach & The Arcs
rip through a rockin' and rollin' live rendition of their latest single, which is inter-spliced with an odd cell phone-shot
Chinatown
pass-revoking scuffle and bookended by about 10 seconds-worth of head-scratching banter on
Drake & Meek Mill
's recent beef.
