The Black Keys - Attack & Release
Like the White Stripes, the Black Keys is a minimalist blues-rock duo. But where the Stripes went mainstream, the Keys have remained underground—until now. The band’s fifth album gets Gnarls Barkley-fied by producer Danger Mouse, who adds wacky Jethro Tull-like flutes and Tangerine Dream-ish moogs into songs like “Same Old Thing” and “Remember When (Side A).” And the Keys’ Dan Auerbach duets with hillbilly teenager Jessica Lea Mayfield on the smoldering blues “Things Ain’t Like They Used to Be.”
