Akron, Ohio's blue-eyed electric blues duo extraordinaire have found success playing in a pretty small sandbox over the course of their previous four LPs. This time around they invite producer Danger Mouse in to play, and as one might expect the Gnarls Barkley / MF Doom DJ brings his own toys. The sound remains rooted in their well established Delta Blues, drum and guitar rock tandem but goes further to acknowledge the classic rock and Detroit soul that naturally weaves its way in and out of the Keys' ongoing narratives. Not as far out as others have indicated the high profile producer might push, but easily a bigger box and deeper sand to play in.
