The Black Keys return

The Black Keys return to their basement to record Magic Potion, their fourth full-length album. Despite its title, Magic Potion is ironically the sound of The Black Keys getting their signature sound down to a scienceâ€"it's the band at their heaviest, grittiest and most powerfully stripped down. From the nasty, sweaty strut of the album's first single, “Your Touch,” to the sublimely narcotic devotional ballad “You're the One” on down to the stomping, house-rocking call to arms “Modern Times,” The Black Keys have made the finest recording of their career and are set to release the masterpiece on 11th September 2006 through V2 Records.

They will also be touring the UK this Autumn:
