new Black Keys single

CAFFEINATED: “Lonely Boy,” the opening track and first single from the new Black Keys album El Camino—produced by Danger Mouse, who helmed the mighty “Tighten Up” as well as the previous Attack & Release—is “a fired-up rager with a surf-inflected central riff and a jumpy, restless organ,” raves Stereogum, saving us the trouble of describing this totally irresistible cut. “It’s a seriously catchy, energetic song, and it’s sounding pretty goddam great on first listen. Last night, the band posted a stream of the song on their YouTube page, along with a video of some guy dancing frantically to the track while lip-syncing and managing to keep a studiously blank expression the entire time.” Listen, watch, dance along and don’t spill hot coffee all over your PJs.
