The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney are on the Sound Opinions podcast to talk about their new album, Ohio Players, with hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot, who call them "one of the greatest rock acts to emerge in the 21st century." You can hear their conversation in the episode below via Spotify and Apple Music.

The hosts also review Hurray for the Riff Raff (aka Alynda Segarra)'s new album, The Past Is Still Alive. After DeRogatis plays the album track "Buffalo," calling it his "track of the year so far," Kot notes "the depth of this record and how good of a lyricist Alynda Segarra is ... One great tune after another. The writing on this record is extraordinarily good and it's packed into these tuneful packages."

The Black Keys launch their International Players tour and its European leg, featuring music from Ohio Players and more in Manchester this Saturday. The band continues touring in Europe until mid-May; the US tour begins in the fall. Get tour details and tickets here. Mojo says Ohio Players is “the sound of a band rejuvenated.” “Whether they set their retro-rock wayback machine to Memphis in the Sixties, the Midwest in the Seventies, or Manchester, England, and L.A. in the Nineties, it all flows together like a beautifully paced DJ set,” says Rolling Stone, calling it “arguably the sharpest collection of songs the Keys have come up with.” You can get it and hear it here.

    "People have been calling Steve Reich the greatest living composer for more than 25 years," says NPR's Weekend Edition host Ayesha Rascoe in her introduction to Reich's interview with NPR's Tom Huizenga on the release of the 27-disc box set Steve Reich Collected Works. About the collection, the composer says: "It makes me feel very good ... It's another way of saying the music is going to get out there. The music is going to have a life independent of me ... It's a great thing. And I'm very proud that it happened. And now I'm busily working on the next piece." You can hear them on NPR's Weekend Edition here.

    The 27-disc box set Steve Reich Collected Works is out now on Nonesuch. It features music recorded during the composer's 40 years on the label—six decades of his compositions, including first recordings of his two latest works, Jacob’s Ladder and Traveler’s Prayer (both also available to stream/download today)—plus two extensive booklets with new essays by Robert Hurwitz, Michael Tilson Thomas, Russell Hartenberger, Judith Sherman, and Nico Muhly, and a comprehensive listener’s guide by Timo Andres. Nonesuch made its first record with Steve Reich in 1985; he was signed exclusively to the label that year. Collected Works includes 24 discs of Nonesuch recordings and three from other labels. You can watch an unboxing video narrated by the composer here.
