Brothers arrives on the heels of three other acclaimed projects the band released in the past year: Dan Auerbach's solo effort, Keep It Hid, the debut LP from Patrick Carney's band Drummer, and Blakroc, a
collaboration between The Black Keys and renowned MCs including RZA, Mos Def, Q-Tip, and Raekwon.
The new album includes the Danger
Mouse - produced song "Tighten Up" (streaming now on the band's MySpace: myspace.com/theblackkeys and a cover of the Jerry
Butler classic "Never Gonna Give You Up." The remaining songs on Brothers are written, performed
and produced by The Black Keys. Carney admits Brothers is the album they've always wanted to make and
taps into their creative force as a duo. "Dan and I grew up a lot as individuals and musicians prior to making this album. Our relationship was tested in many ways but at the end of the day, we're brothers, and I think these songs reflect that."
