Featured Release
The Black Keys
El Camino
Produced by Danger Mouse and The Black Keys, the band's seventh studio album was recorded at singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound studio in the band’s new hometown of Nashville during the spring of 2011. "They sound like a band who think they've made the year's best rock 'n' roll album," says the Guardian, "probably because that's exactly what they've done." The Independent calls it "by some distance the most powerful, compelling rock album of the year." El Camino has earned three Grammy Awards.

Tour Rehearsal Tapes
Tour Rehearsal Tapes, a new digital EP from The Black Keys, features six songs recorded live in the studio during December 2011. The tracks "underscore the explosive musical energy between guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney," says the Independent in a four-star review. "Auerbach’s guitar riffs are stripped to the bone, while Carney is a massive engine driving sporty little riffs."

The Black Keys
Brothers
The New York Times has called The Black Keys’ music “tough-minded, blues haunted songs,” and the ghosts of Alabama's legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, where the bulk of Brothers was recorded, inhabit the album's 15 tracks. Time Out, in a five-star review, calls it "a sonic wonderland"; Uncut says it proves The Black Keys to be "one of the best rock 'n' roll bands on the planet." The album won four Grammy awards, including Best Alternative Album.

Attack & Release
In one of the most eagerly awaited collaborations in alt-rock, The Black Keys are joined by producer Danger Mouse, adding more instrumentation and effects to the band’s sound but preserving their inherent soulfulness, groove, and raw energy, for an album Filter says seems to have "dropped out of the heavens with a fistful of downright biting blues-rock." LP version includes the album on 12" 140-gram vinyl, CD, and free MP3 download.

Magic Potion
