A collaboration between The Black Keys, low-fi indie rock enthusiasts, and Ike Turner, wife Tina, isn’t too off-matched. Throw electronic, hip hop, mash up ‘auteur’ Danger Mouse in as producer and it might be strange. This was the band’s plan before Ike Turner’s unexpected passing on December 12th last year. Although he isn’t on the new album, Turner’s presence lingers in the keys' rock and roll sound that he was influential in founding. The songs that the Keys wrote for Ike to hear ended up becoming the groundwork for their new record, with Danger Mouse still attached.
