I know, right? First there was talk about their hip-hop collaborations, and then you have Dan Auerbach’s solo album (which is great, by the way). The keys are busy as they have another studio album out on May 18. Will it be highly produced like Attack and Release? Will we ever hear raw Black Keys like The Big Come Up again? Will they cover The Beatles again? Only one track on it was produced by Danger Mouse, who helmed Attack and Release. We’ll see, but if we get anything like Dan Auerbach’s “Keep it Hid” from his solo album, I think we’ll be good hands.

Oh and that album art above; apparently that is the album art. Soak it in, it’s pretty great. And pretty straightforward. You almost know exactly what you’re getting into there.
