Album Description

"Attack & Release," the fifth studio album from The Black Keys, marks a significant evolution in the duo's sound, blending their signature blues rock with garage rock and modern blues elements. Released on April 1, 2008, via Nonesuch, this 39-minute journey is a testament to the band's growth and experimentation. Produced by Danger Mouse, this album is the first to be recorded in a professional studio and with an outside producer, signaling a departure from their earlier "homemade" ethos. The collaboration with Danger Mouse began as a project involving Ike Turner, but after his passing, The Black Keys continued the work, resulting in a unique and captivating album. With tracks like "I Got Mine," "Strange Times," and "Psychotic Girl," The Black Keys showcase their versatility, incorporating synthesisers, banjos, and organ to create a rich and layered sound. "Attack & Release" is a compelling chapter in The Black Keys' discography, offering fans a fresh perspective while staying true to their roots.
