New Music: Black Keys


File Under:  HELL EFFING YES!!

The Black Keys are set to release El Camino - their follow-up to 2010's Brothers on December 6th through Nonesuch Records.  For those of us who can't wait until then, the band has been so kind to preview five songs on their website (in exchange for your email address).  I am so in LIKE with what I hear so far.  This album is going to be huge for them.  I had already heard "Lonely Boy" since it's the first single and love it.  But, I was excited to hear what else they have in store for us.  "Gold On The Ceiling" is soulful and funky, while "Little Black Submarines" is very Led Zeppelin-it starts out very "Stairway to Heaven"and erupts into an explosion of crunching guitars).  The next track is "Sister." which is very along the lines of "Lonely Boy" and will probably be their next single, though if I had to pick, I'd choose the last track "Run Right Back"- which might be my favorite of the bunch.

Can't wait for ONE MORE WEEK!!

  1. Can you please tell me why an El Camino is not on the cover? If you name your album after one of the greatest automobiles of all time you need to put it on the cover. C'mon.
