Myspace: It’s only been 16 months since the Black Keys released their Grammy-Award winning album Brothers, but the band have reportedly already written, recorded and finished their seventh album, which frontman Dan Auerbach describes as being inspired by the Clash, the Cramps and old rockabilly and garage rock.
.
The upcoming album was produced by Danger Mouse—who also worked on the Black Keys’ last two albums—and will be released later this year. “The new album doesn’t sound like Brothers,” Auerbach recently told SPIN.com. “It doesn’t have that open soul feel to it. It’s way more driving and the tempos are really fast.”

When pressed for more details, Auerbach explained that the band’s latest album also sees the band embracing a group dynamic this time around. “I’ve never been into guitar solos. I really like when every instrument in the band is a rhythm instrument,” he explained. “This record has a lot of that going on — guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards all working together as a rhythm instrument. But unlike Brothers, which has more of these slower songs with an open feeling, [the new LP] is definitely fast.”
