The Arcs (Dan Auerbach) honor Richard Swift on “Heaven is a Place” (watch the video)

Dan Auerbach's other band, The Arcs, have shared a new song from their upcoming album Electrophonic Chronic. While the album was made with Richard Swift before his death in 2018, "Heaven is a Place" feels like a tribute, with lines like "Heaven is a place I know, where all the lovers go / and when they die / everything they had on Earth is multiplied," set against a dreamy, groovy arrangement. On Instagram, The Arcs wrote, "Heaven is a Place for Richard."
