After The Black Keys was forced to go on hiatus, due to drummer Patrick Carney suffering a shoulder injury, vocalist/guitarist Dan Auerbach formed The Arcs project with friends (musicians) in 2015. Also, in 2015, the band released Yours, Dreamily, an album recorded in sessions over a two-week period.
In 2018, multi-instrumentalist Richard Swift, a member of the band, died of complications from hepatitis as a result of alcohol dependence. The Arcs returned in 2023 with Electrophonic Chronic, second album.
