"Tighten Up" by The Black Keys
I am totally smitten. After last year's awesome Blakroc, a collaboration of The Black Keys and several hip-hop and rap heavyweights, including Ludacris, RZA, and Mos Def, my favorite Ohio duo is back to its regularly scheduled program with Brothers--more rootsy, funky, soulful, garage rock. I own all of The Black Keys albums--they're moving a little away from the hardcore blues rock of their earlier years to a funkier, maybe even slicker, sound. Not a bad thing though. It's still just two guys in a basement making great music.
This addictive single off their latest album was produced by Danger Mouse who produced The Black Keys' last album, Attack & Release.
Just bought tix to see them at the Hollywood Palladium in Sep. So psyched. Get yours before they sell out!
