On June 2, Dan Auerbach (of the Black Keys and the Arcs) will release a new solo album called Waiting on a Song (via his new label, Easy Eye Sound). Today, he’s shared the music video for a new song from the record called “King of a One Horse Town.” It’s directed by Aaron Hymes, who describes the visual as “A Day in the life of a ‘King of a One Horse Town.’” In a statement, Auerbach, said “The King of a One Horse Town is anyone who’s scared of the outside world. Anyone who’s afraid to go beyond their own block for fear of failure. It could be a drug dealer. A drunk. A professor. That's a feeling any of us can relate to.” Watch the video, and read Hymes’ statement on its creation, below.
