The Black Keys, guitarist-vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney, are well known for their concentrated, hermetic approach to recording, hunkering down with rudimentary equipment to create terse but soulful rock that seems to have time-traveled into the pair's amps from some long-ago radio show. The Black Keys have been able to make something ferociously noisy, deceptively melodic, and surprisingly sincere out of the simplest tools and riffs. But their latest album, produced with Danger Mouse, takes them in a newer direction. They didn't veer uncomfortably far from the elemental rock & roll territory they'd mined so effectively on previous albums, but the new tracks have a spaciousness and clarity that accentuate the soulfulness in Dan's preternaturally weathered vocals and in arrangements that oscillate between melancholy and swagger.
