When You’re On A Roll… Black Keys Release New Album

Not content with the 3 albums they’ve released over the last 12 months (BlackRoc, Auerbach’s solo album – Keep It Hid, and Carney’s Drummer), the Black Keys are dropping another album on the 18th of May, with a tour to accompany it, obviously.

A track listing doesn’t mean much withouth accompanying sounds, so make some grungy blues noises in your head as you read this:

03 Tighten Up
04 Howlin’ for You
05 She’s Long Gone
06 Black Mud
07 The Only One

12 I’m Not the One
13 Unknown Brother
14 Never Gonna Give You Up
15 These Days
