Sitting in a room whose walls are so blue they look black, digging into the joy-and-pain double helix of existence and finding heavy soul, kicking out a blues rock rumpus in search of salvation...this is the electrifying world of The Black Keys and their sophomore album, Thickfreakness.

Building upon but never merely appropriating the discontent of 20th century Delta Blues, Thickfreakness applies traditional blues reflexes to the modern day daemons of social alienation, vocational mediocrity, and the urban grind...Just how The Black Keys achieved this deliciously unencumbered ferocity on Thickfreakness is really no mystery. The LP was primarily recorded in 14 hours on an early 80's Tascam 388 eight-track down in Carney's basement. But what's remarkable is how tight and focused it sounds given this expedited timeline... Alongside the ghosts of Son House and Muddy Waters, you'll hear the assiduous, frenzied energies that The Black Keys exhumed in Carney's cellar during the Thickfreakness sessions.
