The Black Keys release two vinyl reissues, Magic Potion and Brothers, on 4 December 2026. The editions mark the albums’ 20th anniversaries and arrive through Easy Eye Sound and Warner Records.
The Black Keys pair two vinyl reissues
The release details give 4 December 2026 as the day for both editions, with Easy Eye Sound and Warner Records attached to the project. The announcement describes Magic Potion Blue vinyl for Magic Potion and Cola Bottle Clear 2-LP for Brothers.
The pair’s shared anniversary framing links two established albums in the duo’s catalogue. The release announcement presents them as limited-edition physical editions, giving each album its own colour and format.
The Akron duo behind the reissued albums
Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney are the two members of The Black Keys. Auerbach sings and plays guitar, while Carney plays drums, as outlined in the duo’s band profile.
The pair formed in Akron, Ohio, and built a sound rooted in blues rock, garage rock and American roots music. That compact lineup remains central to the reissue story, because the two albums reflect the group’s work as a stripped-down duo rather than a large studio ensemble.
Magic Potion connects the anniversary programme to the band’s move towards a major label, while Brothers represents another important stage in its catalogue. The new editions therefore place two different moments in the same physical release cycle.
The two vinyl formats map the catalogue’s anniversary
The format distinction is straightforward. Magic Potion appears as a single LP on blue vinyl, while Brothers is presented as a two-LP set in a clear colour variant.
Both editions keep the focus on the original albums rather than adding a new studio title. The combination of Easy Eye Sound and Warner Records also links the current release programme with the wider label infrastructure around the duo.
