What do you get when you cross Ike Turner with Danger Mouse and The Black Keys? ‘Attack & Release’, that’s what! Initial collaboration began when Danger Mouse (a.k.a. Brian Burton) approached The Black Keys to write songs for an album he was developing with late R&B legend Ike Turner. But as the band began composing tracks for Turner early last year, they quickly realized they were actually laying the groundwork for a new album of their own.
The fantastic result is an instant classic of an album – a collection of eleven timeless tracks that traverse the space between poignant blues, eerie psychedelia and rip-roaring old-school rock and roll. ‘Attack & Release’, which captures their raw, catchy songs with state of the art recording techniques and stunning arrangements, is an exciting progression of their work.
