Danger Mouse
Comment:
For four straight albums, the Black Keys were a bruised-blues duo that did [i]everything[/i] on their own — drums, guitars, and a whole lotta attitude. Then they met Danger Mouse, a producer masquerading as a third member (listen to the spacey G-funk synths and beyond-the-grave vocals of "Strange Times"). Danger's studio presence is felt all over our Next Steps tracks, including the wailing Strat samples and warm-blooded organ hum of "Going On," the golden boom-bap breaks of [i]Ghetto Pop Life[/i], the funky-fresh [i]Adult Swim[/i] inspirations of [i]The Mouse and the Mask[/i], the subtle Cee-Lo cameo and glam-rock strut that propels "Pieces of the People We Love," and the shimmering psych-pop undercurrent of the Murs collaboration "To a Black Boy."
