The group sees Auerbach teaming up with Truth and Soul Records founder Leon Michels, Black Keys touring bassist Richard Swift, Menahan Street Band member Homer Steinweiss, Amy Winehouse collaborator Nick Movshon, guitarist Kenny Vaughan, plus the members of all-female mariachi band Mariachi Flor de Toloache.

A press release says of the record: “The Arcs collaboratively wrote and recorded 13 tracks for ‘Yours, Dreamily’, with the musicians playing a large array of roles both vocally and instrumentally… the album was recorded in roughly two weeks through spontaneous, informal sessions across the country”.

Speaking about the LP recently, Auerbach described the full-length as “extra weird”. He said: “It was cut really quick in a week and a half, two weeks of recording.I just wanted to do my thing and get extra weird… I wanted everything to flow [and] be cohesive. A lot of the songs bleed one into the other, a lot like the Grateful Dead – my favourite records that they did. So I’ve got a lot of connected songs. It’s basically everything I love about music all wrapped up into one record – that’s all!”

The ‘Yours, Dreamily’ tracklisting is as follows:

‘Once We Begin (Intro)’
‘Outta My Mind’
‘Put A Flower In Your Pocket’
‘Pistol Made Of Bones’
‘Everything You Do (You Do For You)’
‘Stay In My Corner’
‘Cold Companion’
‘The Arc’
‘Nature’s Child’
‘Velvet Ditch’
‘Chains Of Love’
‘Come & Go’
‘Rosie (Ooh La La)’
‘Searching The Blue’
