Their new album, Brothers, is named for their friendship."Yeah. They've grown up together. After all, the pair have been playing together since they were 16.
We had a bunch of time and decided to get into the studio with our friend Brian and come up with a song for the hell of it, which led to Tighten Up."They also do a dirty version of the Jerry Butler song Never Gonna Give You Up. We finished that and a few days later we went into Muscle Shoals studio in Alabama and we spent nine days recording. We were in the middle of the Blakroc record. We're definitely like brothers."Brothers, the album, started life in Akron while the duo were recording their Blakroc album a collaborative effort between the pair and hip-hop stars like Mos Def, RZA, Raekwon and Ludacris."We recorded five, six songs and the rest were supposed to be demos. We still love each other and care about each other. It's just wild to think about it.
I have a stockpile and I had some idea in terms of arrangements, but they don't really fully form until Pat and I get together and turn it into a Black Keys song."We just do what we do. "I've been writing the songs for the past two years. Bluesy, gutsy, intense and exhilarating music.Explaining a few inspirations and personal favourites, Auerbach selects Too Afraid To Love You "I love the way that sounds, I love harpischord and we got to use that on that." Sinister Kid? "Everybody's got a sinister kid in their lives," he chuckles.Next Girl is partly true I can't tell you what part as Auerbach made me promise.On She's Long Gone Auerbach sings "like Moses through the corn" and he laughs loudly when I mention it. There are shades of Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and the other American duo they are often compared to, the White Stripes.
Tchad Blake had a lot to do with the overall sound and cohesiveness from song to song. I couldn't take it, I felt suffocated it was so slow.Co-produced by Mark Neill and mixed by Tchad Blake, Auerbach explains the sound they were going for on Brothers."Very simple, very stripped down. I was just in a studio recently with some other people I've never worked with and it was like pulling teeth. That's just how we operate. The record is an honest documentation of Pat's and my time together during those three weeks that we recorded."They were in Alabama in the "middle of nowhere" so found it easy to concentrate on recording."We only realised on the last night that the hotel had a pool so we swam in the pool on the last night, and man, it was really nice."He didn't know, he says, just what a magical musical connection he and Carney had until he tried to work with other people."It really is just so natural and normal to us, we don't see anything wrong with going into the studio in the morning and leaving at the end of the day with four or five songs finished.
I don't know when we'll be there, but we'll be there. We'll be in New Zealand for sure all over Europe, the US, Australia and New Zealand. Very cool."He's too busy, he says, to think about his solo work, and although they have half a new Blakroc album already finished, they're not going to worry about that any time soon."We're touring the whole world twice with Brothers.
