When Radio One from Berlin chooses an album for best album of the year, then that's an extraordinary quality for themselves. The musician Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney from Akron / Ohio can advertise well tolerated. In this country, they are relatively unknown. Since 2010 they belong to the states to the solid musical greats. Now could -El Camino- also provide a breakthrough in Europe. Often the band with the White Stripes is compared. I personally, however -El Camino- came more like a daring mix of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Black Crows and Lenny Kravitz. However, only after every last Popmolekül was removed from this construct. On -El Camino- the guitars are set up to declining under current. Only when they strum and the sound almost tattered, Dan Auerbach seems to be satisfied. Incidentally thrashes Patrick Carney on the drums a, like the animal from the Muppet Show. As an instrument you have it for sure with these guys is not easy ...
Yet it is precisely this tendency to make the imperfect Black Keys so irresistibly likeable. Since a few noises may sneak into the shooting and the technique must cost a fortune. It is especially the music counts. That alone deserves the utmost respect.
The opener -Lonely Boy- blows immediately to attack. A song that has Hitqualitäten and no longer want from your ear. -Dead And Gone- is threshed with hammer hard rhythm through the season. A mix that is not classified, somewhere between blues, rock and whatever is the soul of -Gold on the Ceiling-. Totally out of character falls the beginning of -Little Black SUBMARINES-. Ingratiating and pleasant start the song until the Black Keys restore the status quo of elementary rock music again after two minutes. Bluesy rough swings -Money Maker through the ether. -Run Right back- enjoys guitar riffs. Grungig and almost a ska-Touch comes -Sister-. -Hell Of Seasons- lives of a chopped Gittarenton and drums Carneys. If you are looking for a song that captures it quickly and completely, then stop -Stop is certainly their song. -Nova Babysitting sounds at the beginning a little detuned instruments to, but then enjoys straightforwardness. The bouncer -Mind Eraser- is then again a cherry on top for a great sound wave of more than 100 decibels. The whole album is not only danceable; No: It requires downright thereafter to swing the legs ...
The Black Keys are a band whose name you should remember; at least if you are interested in music. If they want to be invaded once from an album, I put them -El Camino- warmly. Rarely it was so nice to be conquered in the assault. Whether Carney and Auerbach also so banish an independent rock in a class at a shekel, when they fill the big venues, only time will tell. I squeeze already crossed ...
