Release Notes:

Tour Edition featuring 9 live tracks (Recording December 09, 2011).

Picking up on the æ60s soul undercurrent of Brothers, the Black Keys smartly
capitalize on their 2010 breakthrough by plunging headfirst into retro-soul on
El Camino. Savvy operators that they are, the Black Keys donÆt opt for
authenticity α la Sharon Jones or Eli ôPaperboyö Reed: they bring Danger Mouse
back into the fold, the producer adding texture and glitter to the duoÆs clean,
lean songwriting. Apart from ôLittle Black Submarines,ö an acoustic number that
crashes into Zeppelin heaviosity as it reaches its coda, every one of the 11
songs here clocks in under four minutes, adding up to a lean 38-minute rock &
roll rush, an album thatÆs the polar opposite of the Black KeysÆ previous
collaboration with Danger Mouse, the hazy 2008 platter Attack & Release. That
purposely drifted into detours, whereas El Camino never takes its eye off the
main road: it barrels down the highway, a modern motor in its vintage body.
Danger Mouse adds glam flair that doesnÆt distract from the songs, all so
sturdily built they easily accommodate the shellacked layers of cheap organs,
fuzz guitars, talk boxes, backing girls, tambourines, foot stomps, and
handclaps. Each element harks back to something from the past -- there are
Motown beats and glam rock guitars -- but everything is fractured through a
modern prism: the rhythms have swing, but theyÆre tight enough to illustrate the
duoÆs allegiance to hip-hop; the gleaming surfaces are postmodern collages,
hinting at collective aural memories. All this blurring of eras is in the
service of having a hell of a good time. More than any other Black Keys album,
El Camino is an outright party, playing like a collection of 11 lost 45 singles,
each one having a bigger beat or dirtier hook than the previous side. WhatÆs
being said doesnÆt matter as much as how itÆs said: El Camino is all trash and
flash and itÆs highly addictive.
