Ohio’s The Black Keys will release a new, Danger Mouse-produced record this spring.
The band return with their fifth studio effort, entitled Attack & Release, on the 31st of March after bunking up in Cleveland with the famed Gnarls Barkley and Gorillaz producer (real name Brian Burton).
The collaboration came about when Burton approached the band to compose tracks for the late Ike Turner’s new album, before an unfortunate turn of events saw the band realising they’d rather keep the songs to themselves.
The follow-up to 2006’s Magic Potion will arrive through Nonesuch Records.

oh god
i am so massively excited about this. If its anything as good as magic potion this album will be the only thing i will listen to for the rest of the year.
Anyone heard any songs off it yet?
good news
great band, I expect it to be an excellent record, lets hope it doesn't disappoint.
wonderful news indeed.
though i have to say that back in the thick freakness days i probably wouldnt have guessed they would last so long, or stay so good!
