Black Keys - Brothers
Released: 17/05/2010
V2
It's heartening when a group who emerged during an era they were particularly suited to transcend it and go on to repeatedly better themselves. That's just what the Black Keys - a drums and guitar / vocals duo who play a soulful mixture of blues and garage rock - have succeeded in doing.

Drowned In Sound“It’s rewarding to find them come full circle...” Brothers goes straight into the chase for the finest traditional rock album of the year so far, and with a slight trim to its 15-strong run would be a front runner...

allmusic“The album is built with blood and dirt...” The past and present intermingle so thoroughly that they blur, yet there’s no affect, just three hundred pounds of joy...

MusicOMH“The best album yet in their already impressive catalogue...” Brothers is a woozy, murky album, fat as a tick, and riled up like a kicked hornets' nest. Whatever growing pains they've gone through as a pair has been worth it...
