my next girl will be nothing like my ex-girl
Akron, Ohio’s finest The Black Keys are releasing their newest album Brothers (recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama) on May 18th.
Yesterday the Danger Mouse-produced “Tighten Up” made its way around the interwebs, and today I heard this shadowy, squawky, marvelous track for the first time. It certainly feels trademark heavy (“a Zeppelin-y blast of fuzzed-out guitar“) while simultaneously loaded with melodic swagger – I even catch some R&B undertones. It stuck in my head immediately, and remains there happily.

[...] The Black Keys have always been a solid band. Certainly no arguments on this topic from us. But when did they get so hip? That Blak Roc stuff was legitimately good and worked better than we ever could have predicted. And now the chorus to “Next Girl” (“My next girl will be nothing like my ex girl”) is a sufficiently old-school soul style lament that works quite well over their typically driving rhythms. Brothers seems to be coming together quite nicely. Stream “Next Girl” here. [...]
