Product description

For their last album »Ohio Players«, The Black Keys had received notable support from friends such as Noel Gallagher, Beck and Leon Michaels last year. With great success, because the work was very well received by the fans and was able to crack the top 5 of the charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, among others. For the follow-up »No Rain, No Flowers«, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have now chosen a different approach. This time, the top-class collaborators come more from the field of production and songwriting. Keyboardist Rick Nowels, for example, has already worked with Auerbach on Lana Del Rey's multi-platinum album »Ultraviolence«. Daniel Tashian won two Grammys for his contribution to Kacey Musgraves' "Golden Hour" alone. And Scott Storch is highly regarded in the hip-hop world through his work with The Roots and Dr. Dre.

The three of them probably played their part in making »No Rain, No Flowers« probably the most pop-affine album by The Black Keys to date. In any case, pieces like »The Night Before« or the title track go straight into the ear and stay there. Casual ballads can also be found among the eleven new songs and »Man On A Mission« successfully bridges the gap to the past with its heavy rock riff. Musically, The Black Keys are positioning themselves more broadly than ever before with »No Rain, No Flowers«. And the Grammy-winning band from Ohio succeeds in perfectly interweaving their eclectic musical influences.
