Continuing on with their new era, The Black Keys released their newest song “This is Nowhere” along with a music video. The song discusses how the singer longs to go “nowhere” – a place that lacks alligator tears and discount beers among other things. The music video emphasizes the singer’s wishes with vintage shots of a family’s vacation out to the middle of nowhere – complete with beautiful scenery.
The video starts with a family getting ready to go on vacation. Old-fashioned cars and outfits paired with a vintage recording style gives the music video a dreamy vibe. Shots of rolling hills and desert skies emphasize the lyrics as Dan Auerbach sings “Yeah this is nowhere.” The video cycles through various images, such as a girl posing for a picture with a sign that reads “Welcome to Arizona,” a driver navigating downtown traffic, and a gorgeous shot of the Grand Canyon. The music video ends with a gorgeous sunset, featuring shades of pink and orange.
“This is Nowhere” is the opener to The Black Keys upcoming thirteenth album Ohio Players. According to recent press release,the album is said to be “an album unlike any of the band’s others,” featuring many collaborators such as Juicy J, Noel Gallagher, and Greg Noid to name a few. The album is set to be released on April 5.
In the meantime, The Black Keys will be premiering their documentary This is a Film About the Black Keys on March 11th and preparing for their upcoming tour to support their album. Watch the “This is Nowhere” music video down below.
