This record arrives less than two years later Dropout Boogie, a record that is both spontaneous and careful, marked by the presence of the singles “Wild Child“, and “It Ain’t Over“. In the meantime, the duo released a single entitled “No Lovin”, present on the compilation Tell Everybody!. The latter brings together The Black Keys with several groups signed to Easy Eye Sound, Dan Auerbach’s label. We find among them Robert Finley and Nat Myers.
If the duo had passed through France after the release of Dropout Boogienotably at the Zénith in Paris and the Nîmes Festival, they have not yet announced any dates in Europe.
