So, I absolutely love The Black Keys. Their last album, Brothers, was a hit and definitely one of my favorite albums. This is why I'm completely pumped to hear what their new one is going to sound like. The Black Keys new album, El Camino, is set to come out December 6th, but you can already pre-order it on iTunes. Then, earlier this week, the band released this first listen video of the first single from the album, called "Lonely Boy". While the video seems ridiculous as it depicts an old African-American man doing the same three 50s/60s dance moves for the camera while lip syncing, I can't help but think that this is somehow an oddly perfect analogy of this song's sound as well as The Black Keys' sound on general. Their music is always feel-good soulful retro with awesome beats. Their albums always sound as though you are listening to them in a live venue such as your local bar or best friend's parent's garage. Singer Dan Auerbach's voice is reminiscent of early blues singers and while it doesn't ever range from more than a few notes, it is still enjoyable to listen to.
Oh man, I love this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpaPBCBjSVc&ob=av2n
