News:  The Black Keys

The Black Keys Announce New Album, Release Date

By Fernando Scoczynski Filho

Just when it seemed that 2011 was set for its fair share of amazing albums, The Black Keys pull a fast one on us, and add another release to the list.

Since the excellent Brothers came out last year, it didn’t seem very likely that we’d see some new material from the band so soon. However, they just announced that their sixth LP, El Camino, comes out on December 6. The reveal was made via the following “trailer”:

Featuring Breaking Bad‘s Bob Odenkirk and the FunnyOrDie! stamp, the 90s-styled advertising for used vans leads you to an appropriately retro website, which instead gives you a phone number to call about the van. Upon calling, a message from The Black Keys is heard.

Check out the tracklist for the new album:

1. Lonely Boy
2. Dead and Gone
3. Gold on the Ceiling
4. Little Black Submarines
5. Money Maker
6. Run Right Back
7. Sister
8. Hell of a Season
9. Stop Stop
10. Nova Baby
11. Mind Eraser

Regardless of all that, we’re already forgetting that Blakroc 2 isn’t coming out anytime soon. We will provide more info on El Camino as it becomes available.
