The Black Keys


Blues/Alternative rock geniuses The Black Keys are slowly starting to tear up the music scene with their psychedelic rock. Their newest album produced by grammy award winner Danger Mouse, is one of the most amazing albums I've heard in a while.
The Duo Dan Auerbach, and Patrick Carney who make up The Black Keys have been playing together since high school, and it shows. Every song sort of melts together to create some erie, melodic masterpiece.
Before their newest album the band used to record themselves in the most obscure places you can think of. Unfinished basements, abandoned rubber factories, and haunted houses seem to be their favorite places. They commented on this say that making the low-fi records enabled them to mask the sound, but with the new album "attack&release" the sound is such a high quality and full, and yet amazing. Dans vocals are smooth and soulful like a lot of blues singers, but rocks none the less. The song "Strange Times" from the new album is slow flowing yet rocks hard at times. The new album is by far my favorite of the duo, and I can't wait for what comes next with this awesome band.
So Check em out....NOW!
