Dan Auerbach - Keep it hid
As the newspapers, music magazines and video platforms are filled with articles, reviews and interviews on and about "The Black Keys'" latest output "Turn Blue" (indeed a beautiful follow up to "El Camino" that I highly recommend to listen to > it's a grower, don't look for a new "Lonely Boy" you won't find it) I wanted to share my love for this gem of an album, that my dear friend Selli was so kind to put me on to.
The intensity of each of these masterpieces, however, is so apparent and yet this album and Auerbach's solo career in general so underrated, that I felt it is up to those that are fortunate enough to have listened to "Keep It Hid" to make it hid no longer more.
The record kicks off with the soft and soulful acclaim "Trouble Weighs a Ton", a track that displays both Auerbach's ingenuity in writing catchy tunes embedded in a bluesy-souly shape, with heavenly harmonies and a simple but powerful production. "I Want Some More" contains all elements that made "The Black Keys" a global rock act. A psychedelic blues stomper - dirty lyrics - organ heavy blues guitar. "Heartbroken In Despair" features Auerbach's ability to use simplicity, that is merely a delay, to write a potential chart breaker that of course did not the heavy rotation it deserves.
The album features heavier bluesy Auerbach signature tracks such as "The Prowl", "Street Walking" but also charms the listener with "Whispered Words", "Real Desire" and eventually sings him to sleep with the sweet lullaby guitar and melody of "When the Night Comes".
Having listened to the album throughout the process of writing this review there is still not a bad or weak track on this record.
"Keep It Hid" has all the elements that make a rock classic and is far more than a singer's side project. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
