The Black Keys

Before I go on, I should explain how big of a fan I am of producer/artist/musician Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton. I first discovered him from his collaborative efforts with MF Doom (Danger Doom), Gorillaz, Gnarls Barkley, and his brilliant "The Grey Album" project which featured a mashup of The Beatles and Jay-Z. From then on I figured everything he was involved in was musically gold to me. I even got to listen to his rare works of his instrumental albums when he went by the moniker "Pelican City".

His recent projects are still in rotation on my iPod ("Dark Night of the Soul" with Sparklehorse and "Broken Bells" by Broken Bells) and his most recent work with The Black Keys...

Rolling Stone's described them as a "two-man combo with a big-band mind"

The american blues-rock duo of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney's latest work "Brothers" is a garage blues album and something I've been digging since day one ever since I listened to their lead single "Tighten Up". To my understanding this album isn't entirely produced by Danger Mouse unlike their past album "Attack & Release" (which I've yet listened to) and that this band used to have a different sound before Danger Mouse worked with them. But either way, I think they're dope...



Yup, dope shit. Thank you Danger Mouse for this discovery.
