Want to order on iTunes? Each El Camino pre-order will receive an instant download of “Lonely Boy.”

Listeners looking to grab a copy on Record Store Day’s November 25 Black Friday event will have the chance to pick up a limited edition 12’’ single, packaged alongside another track, “Run Right Back.”

The full album release date was revealed via a spoof advertisement styled to look like an old car commercial, available to watch here. In the same spirit of subtle old-van-humor, The Keys launched a website, wannabuyavan.com, that combines a convincing advertisement for a wood-paneled minivan along with a name and date for the upcoming album release.

El Camino will be The Black Keys’ sixth studio album following the 2010 release of Brothers, which received a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.

Check out the group’s official site for details on pre-ordering El Camino — or to grab a tee featuring that beautiful van.
