Black Keys: El Camino

Brothers and Attack & Release are two huge fave albums of mine in recent years.  Every time I play them I look forward to the next time I'll play them again.  I was thrilled to see this show up so in the new release titles- their 7th album El Camino, so soon after Brothers. 

Completely co-written and produced with Danger Mouse who produced Attack & Release with them in '08, the Keys split time between a studio in Nashville TN during March to May 2011, while touring Brothers. This album took 41 days to complete- their longest for any album to date. 

After struggling to reproduce the sound of some slower songs from Brothers live on tour, they set out to make El Camino all up-tempo riff-driven songs that translate better in a live setting.
