On April 1, Nonesuch Records will release The Black Keys' fifth full-length LP,
Attack & Release. The album follows their 2006 critically acclaimed Nonesuch debut
Magic Potion, which the Chicago Tribune proclaimed, "a gritty, wild, minimalist
masterpiece."
Produced by Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley, The Gorillaz, The Grey Album), Attack &
Release was recorded at engineer Paul Hamann's illustrious Suma Studio outside
Cleveland, Ohio. Initial collaboration began when Danger Mouse (a.k.a. Brian Burton)
approached the band to write songs for an album he was developing with the late R&B
legend Ike Turner. As the band began composing tracks for Turner early last year,
though, they quickly realized they were actually laying the groundwork for a new
album of their own.
