The Black Keys slipped out a new song entitled Tighten Up from their forthcoming LP Brothers, via their MySpace. Have a listen.

Me, I can’t get enough of this Danger Mouse produced cut. Just wait for the change at 2:30 or so. Hot shit.

Brothers is set for a May 18th release through Nonesuch Records.

By the way, those who purchase presale tickets for the band’s upcoming tour through the band’s website will receive a special bundle, which includes a copy of Brothers upon release (either digital only or digital and physical-CD or vinyl), along with an instant download of two tracks, Tighten Up and Next Girl.

    Wow, this track is just staggering, and I look forward to this album, as well as Dark Was The Night, by UNKLE, what else will come out in may?

  • Just kidding! April Fools!

    Cool shit. The Keys could do with sounding more “live” on their recordings, they tend to sound kinda flat. A sesh with Steve Albini or some shit would be insane. Great tune though.

    Thickfreakness and Rubber Factory sound flat? You might wanna see a doctor. I kinda wish they wouldve done more with Dangermouse after hearing this, and the stunning Attack and Release of course, but I am interested to see what Tchad Blake brings to the sound.

    Dan Auerbach’s solo effort was the most underrated album of ‘09 imo
