Tighten Up
The Black Keys
Imagine Danger Mouse, producer of The Black Keys last album Attack & Release were one of Dan Auerbach’s guitar pedals. For Brothers he turned the Keys, Samples & Synths down from an 8 to a 3, dialed back the Psychedelia just a bit, and left the Soul knob alone at 8. They kept the Dirt & Scuzz turned way up, as usual too.
It’s tweaking that suits the Black Keys. They’re at their dirtiest, bounciest, and soulful best on this record. I just wish they’d left a few tracks off and let a punchy 12 songs really push this record start to finish.
I like music. This is a blog about music that reminds me I'm human. There’s new stuff, my rants on old stuff, and some wallpaper designs for fun. If you are the owner of this music and object to it being posted here
