The Black Keys recently debuted the new song "Lo/Hi" (Nonesuch
Records), the first new music from the band since their 2014 album,
Turn Blue. Listen here. "Lo/Hi" was written and produced by
Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, and recorded at Nashville's Easy Eye Sound studio. Rolling
Stone named the track a "Song You
Need to Know" and said, "the Keys have officially returned,
louder than ever" and the New York
Times calls the song "the kind of garage-boogie stomp
that the band never left behind." Additionally,
GQ magazine included "Lo/Hi" in its list of Songs You
Need to Hear This Week and called it "a snarling and immediate
little slice of heaven from the Ohio rock stars."
Formed in Akron, Ohio in 2001,
The Black Keys have released eight studio albums: their debut
The Big Come Up (2002), followed by Thickfreakness
(2003) and Rubber Factory (2004), along with their releases
on Nonesuch Records, Magic Potion (2006), Attack &
Release (2008), Brothers (2010), El Camino (2011), and, most recently, Turn
Blue (2014). The band has won six Grammy Awards and headlined
festivals including Coachella,
Lollapalooza, and Governors Ball.
Since their last album together, both Auerbach and Carney have
been creative forces behind a number of wide-ranging artists:
Dan Auerbach formed the Easy Eye
Sound record label, named after his Nashville studio, in 2017, with the release of
his second solo album, Waiting on a Song. Since its
launch, Easy Eye Sound has become home to a wide range of artists
including Yola, Shannon & The Clams, Dee White, Shannon
Shaw, Sonny Smith,
Robert Finley, and The Gibson
Brothers; it also has released the posthumous album by Leo Bud Welch as well as previously unreleased
material by Link Wray.
Patrick Carney has produced and
recorded new music with artists such as Calvin Johnson, Michelle
Branch, Damns of the West, Tobias
Jesso, Jr., Jessy Wilson,
Tennis, Repeat Repeat, Wild Belle, Sad Planets, Turbo Fruits, and
more. He also created the theme music for the Netflix TV show
BoJack Horseman with his late
uncle, Ralph Carney.
