Auerbach

It was the second consecutive LP produced by Dan Auerbach, the Black Keys frontman, and released via his record label, Easy Eye Sound.

“We like being an underdog,” Auerbach adds.

Their new album’s title, “No Rain, No Flowers,” offers a positive spin on growing from the experience, which guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney echoed in our conversation ahead of their show at the Greek Theatre on Tuesday.

But Auerbach says they always wanted to evolve similar to the bands they loved like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

Auerbach adds that after starting out just the two of them in isolation — in a basement in Akron — they found they loved collaborating, working with the producer Danger Mouse on their biggest albums and, more recently, musicians like Beck, Noel Gallagher, ZZ Tops’ Billy Gibbons and rapper Juicy J.
