Strange Times THE BLACK KEYS Producer(s): Danger Mouse Genre: ROCK Label: Nonesuch For fifth album "Attack & Release"—the first produced in a studio—Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney of the Black Keys enlist Gnarls Barkley's Danger Mouse. The producer's influence is apparent on first single "Strange Times," where he expands the minimalist duo's sonic repertoire to include ghostly background vocals coupled with piano. Fans will be relieved that the studio polish enhances rather than undermines the blues-rockers' gritty, from-the-gut signature. In fact, "Strange Times" embodies the best of both worlds: an exhilarating guitar-driven track that captures the explosiveness of '60s rock and a modern sensibility that will captivate alternative and triple A radio listeners.—Alexandra Cahill Slowly climbing the chart! I was pleased to notice that jdmasta is charting this single currently. MTV2 has played it a few times, as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRKeCNqycE8&feature=user

I have not listened to the new Black Keys song yet, but I have always enjoyed their bluesy style.
It would be nice to see them get some significant airplay on alternative stations.

Most of their stature came from satellite's unsurprising early jump on this. The rest will not follow suit for free. Top 50 would be nice, but it'll fall short of that.

This is nice, but it doesn't have the same punch that songs like "10 A.M. Automatic" did.

A +58 spin jump with 7 adds has this surprisingly in top 50 position. I'm really feelin' this one now.

Maybe their impressive chart debut on the BB 200 helped. Whatever the case, let's hope they can maintain the momentum!

Nearly Top 40 now & growing.
This song is so sexy. I told my brother so today & he said "Well, of course it is. It's blues-rock. All blues-based material is about sex and death." "And the devil." I added.
He's a pretty smart cookie.
