The Black Keys are an American rock band formed in Akron,
Ohio, in 2001. The group consists of Dan Auerbach(guitar, vocals) and Patrick Carney(drums).
The duo began as na independent act, recording music in basements and self-producing their records,
before they eventually emerged as one of the most popular garage rock artists during a second wave of the genre's revival in the 2000s.
The band's raw blues rock sound draws heavily from Auerbach's blues influences,
including Junior Kimbrough,
R.L. Burnside,
Howlin' Wolf,
and Robert Johnson.
Friends
since childhood, Auerbach and Carney founded the group after dropping out of
college. After signing with indie label Alive, they released their debut
album, The Big Come Up(2002),
which earned them a new deal with Fat Possum Records.
Over the next decade, the Black Keys built an underground fanbase through
extensive touring of small clubs, frequent album releases and music festival
appearances, and broad licensing of their songs. Their third album, Rubber Factory(2004),
received critical acclaim and boosted the band's profile, eventually leading to
a record deal with major label Nonesuch
Records in 2006. After self-producing and
recording their first four records in makeshift studios, the duo completed Attack & Release(2008)
in a professional studio and hired producer Danger
Mouse, who subsequently became a frequent
collaborator with the band.
The group's commercial breakthrough came in
2010 with Brothers, which along with its popular
single "Tighten Up", won three Grammy Awards.
Their 2011 follow-up El Camino received strong reviews and
peaked at number two on the Billboard
200 chart, leading to the first arena
concert tour of the band's career, the El Camino Tour.
The album and its
hit single "Lonely Boy" won three Grammy
Awards. In 2014, they released their eighth album, Turn Blue,
their first number-one record in the US, Canada, and Australia. After completing the Turn Blue
Tour in 2015, the duo took a hiatus for several years to work on side projects
and produce other artists. They returned in 2019 with their
ninth album, Let's Rock; their tenth studio album Delta Kream was released in 2021 and consists of hill
country blues covers.
Brothers (printed
as This is an album by The Black Keys. The name
of this album is Brothers. on the front cover) is the sixth studio
album by American rock duo The Black Keys.
Co-produced by the group, Mark Neill, and Danger
Mouse, it was released on May 18, 2010 on Nonesuch Records.
Brothers was the band's commercial breakthrough, as it sold over
73,000 copies in the United States in its first week and peaked at number
three on the Billboard 200,
their best performance on the chart to that point.
The album's lead single, "Tighten Up", the only track from the
album produced by Danger Mouse, became their most successful single to that
point, spending 10 weeks at number one on the Alternative Songs chart and becoming the group's first single on the Billboard Hot 100,
peaking at number 87 and was later certified gold. The second single, "Howlin' for You",
went gold as well. In April 2012, the album was certified platinum in the US by
the RIAA for
shipping over one million copies. It also went double-platinum in Canada and
gold in the UK. In 2011, it won three Grammy Awards,
including honors for Best Alternative Music Album.
Can't explain
Nor can I contain
Control
You have on my soul
It's all I do
Is, baby, dream of you
I'm falling down
When you're around
You're the only one
You're the only one
I'm so wrapped up in a daze
Hoping this is just a phase
But when all is said and done
I know you are still the one
You're the only one
You're the only one
Cupid's bow it stung
Now you're the only one
Mystery
Is what this is to me
I'm given up
I'm having no luck
Like a ghost
The one that I love most
Disappears when I get near
You're the only one
You're the only one
I'm so wrapped up in a daze
Hoping this is just a phase
But when all is said and done
I know you are still the one
You're the only one
You're the only one
Cupid's bow it stung
Now you're the only one
Uh, uh, only one.
