Electrophonic Chronic is the second studio album by the Arcs, a side project of Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys.
[1] Electrophonic Chronic features the original lineup of the band and was recorded primarily prior to Richard Swift's death in 2018.
[3] A second single, "Heaven Is a Place", was released on November 10, 2022, along with a visualizer directed by Roboshobo that pays tribute to Swift.
[8] Bud Scoppa of Uncut gave the album an 8 out of 10 rating, writing, "Auerbach's stoic, close-mic'd vocals and gnarled tendrils of distorted guitar bring a devastating immediacy to an album that contemplates the death of love and, by extension, mortality itself, seeking closure.
"[11] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote, "Electrophonic Chronic plays like an old-fashioned long-player instead of a stack of 45s, a heady experience that nevertheless is anchored in R&B.
