The Black Keys: Two of a Kind
During the past decade, The Black Keys have slowly emerged as one of the most successful independent-minded bands in the world. Using their love of blues riffs as their base, vocalist/guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney have melded their disparate influences in garage rock, hip-hop and radio-friendly indie into a sound that’s distinctly their own. One of the hardest working bands around, The Black Keys chose to break-up their never ending tours with a constant stream of studio sessions, outside production projects and occasional solo outings. Produced by Danger Mouse, their new album El Camino is poised to propel the Ohio-bred duo into arenas once and for all. Relix is proud to not only take a peek inside the Black Keys’ creative process but also to anoint them as guests editors of this special issue.
