Black Keys' frontman Dan Auerbach says that he wanted to "get extra weird" on his upcoming new solo album.
"I just wanted to do my thing and get extra weird," he tells Rolling Stone. "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 favorite 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!"
He adds that he wants that "extra weird" vibe to permeate into music videos as well.
"I'm just finishing up the artwork now, working on a cartoon video with this kid who lives in Bakersfield who's never made a video before," Auerbach says. "Kind of ridiculous. I'm just having fun [and] basically making music with no responsibility."
Auerbach last released Keep It Hid back in 2009.
