New Black Keys - "Psychotic Girl"
Danger Mouse keeps busy. Set aside the recent flurry of Gnarlsy news and tracks. Just today we hear that the "unnamed producer" working on Beck's next album is mighty Mouse himself which, after taking a good listen to his work here on the Black Keys' "Psychotic Girl," is just perfect. Danger, who produces the Keys new record, puts the blues-rock duo on a wobbling, oozing rhythmic cushion that keeps spiraling out under the Keys' rusty slide guitars and achy day vocals. In between those layers come flecks of banjo and the sort of cavernous backing harmonies ?uestlove was just singing along to on Barkley's "Who's Gonna Save My Soul." It's a mid-tempo fat beat, and it's a very good look.
Attack & Release is out 4/1 on Nonesuch.

I REALLY like the beat on this and can't wait to see what happens with Beck. Should be interesting.

My life is so great right now. Beck is buddying up with Mr. Mouse AND new Black Crowes, Mountain, Lips, and KEYS??? It's black but the future sweems bright!

Its beautiful, every part. I find its best played very loud, but make sure you follow the piano throughout. for such a basic part, it makes the whole song just sink real gently into a flowing masterpiece. Its claimed a place firmly up with the likes of "everywhere i go". Spot on lads, nice one.
