VIDEO PREMIERE: the black keys - fever

the black keys - fever
produced by danger mouse, this is easily one of the most catchy numbers by the black keys (already a hit on alt radio) with massive crossover potential. teasing their upcoming 'turn blue' album, i'm now kinda excited to hear more!

AUDIO PREMIERE!: lana del rey - west coast

lana del rey - west coast
produced by dan auerbach of the black keys, lana premiered this song at coachella over the weekend and now brings this trippy ballad to the masses with this audio premiere. might need a few listens to let this song sink in, but as a preview to her upcoming 'ultraviolence' album, this tells me that we are heading into a new sonic direction. curious.

[as a clever viral video to accompany the launch of the first release of their upcoming album 'el camino', the black keys offer up a wonderfully hypnotic dance performance from this seemingly random man. i'm picking up a few of these retro moves for the dancefloor and so should you!]

[i've always understood the love for the black keys, but never really went crazy over them due to the fact that i felt they were really good one trick pony. well, it sounds like things are changing for their upcoming self produced new album 'brothers' (with the sole exception of "tighten up" which was produced by danger mouse). from the two tracks out in the blogosphere, the music seems diverse enough to make this year the one that the black keys break into the larger arena!]
