Sharp MenThe Black KeysBy MICHAEL COYLEPublished on August 21, 2008 at 2:41amThe Black Keys are a two-piece that rip heavy electric blues with a dense boogie that reverbs into the hardest to reach parts of the soul. At his best, guitarist/singer Dan Auerbach belts out the sound of unrequited lust. But theres an underlying vibrance to the bands wails, one that made it seem natural for them to be working on their newest album, Attack and Release, with legend Ike Turner before his death. The songs left over from that project were handled by producer Danger Mouse (of Gnarls Barkley fame) and the result is the sound of the blues being nudged into new realms.
