Today  The Arcs‘s band members Leon Michels and Dan Auerbach  have released their song  “Sunshine” which is the final single from their album in eight years, Electrophonic Chronic, will drop on January 27. “Sunshine” starts things off with a lovely  piano melody from Michels and Auerbach’s voice remains steady while expressing his feeling of being down on your luck.

“Sunshine” is a track that was originally co-written with their late bandmate Richard Swift (who can also be heard on background vocals and percussion) before his passing in 2018. The song is a  statement about on picking up the pieces and finding meaning in times that feel difficult.

Also Auerbach and Michels  have announced a series of DJ sets that will bring them to small venues across Paris , New York and Los Angeles in the upcoming weeks. The DJ sets are a celebration of the band’s mutual obsession for digging out rare  finds for each other while on the road and each set is big  reminder of the shared passions with Swift, which built the roots of the new record before his passing.
