After releasing an EP that features Dr. John and David Hidalgo yesterday, Dan Auerbach told Billboard that he and his band The Arcs are “really close” to finishing their next album, which would be a follow-up to this year’s Yours, Dreamily,.

The frontman and guitarist also spoke on the evolving sound of the relatively new band, saying, “The Arcs have a particular sound, or we’re trying to. It’s starting to, I guess, solidify a little bit, especially the more we play live together. I’m just hearing a new consistency, but it’s still pulling from various types of places; it’s what our record collections sound like, pretty much, so it’s all over the place. There’s loud songs, fast songs but it’s still dreamy and it still sounds like the Arcs.”
