Like many couples embarking on their second decade together, the Black Keys decided they needed to spend some time apart. Once Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney wrapped their supporting tour for 2014's Turn Blue, the pair went their separate ways. During the next half-decade, neither musician laid low, busying themselves with production work and, in Auerbach's case, releasing two albums of new original material (Yours, Dreamily was the 2015 debut of his second band the Arcs, while 2017's Waiting on a Song was his second solo record). All of that extramarital wandering pays great dividends on Let's Rock, the duo's first album in five years. Lighter and leaner than Turn Blue -- and, ironically, considerably more colorful, too -- Let's Rock doesn't so much find the Black Keys trying new recipes as revisiting old favorites with fresh, elevated ingredients. Blues, garage, and old soul remain at the foundation of the group's sound, but they've swapped jammy excesses for over-saturated fuzz guitars and stacked vocal overdubs. Only two songs on Let's Rock threaten to break the four-minute mark: with its lava lamp psychedelic swirl, "Walk Across the Water" drifts for a luxurious length, while the brightly skipping "Get Yourself Together" gets there quicker. This concentrated brevity makes the album play a bit like a fantasy jukebox, spinning out hooks and harmonies with abandon. Sometimes, the Black Keys accentuate this pop undercurrent -- "Tell Me Lies" feels as if it's flirting with Fleetwood Mac's "Little Lies," "Sit Around and Miss You" glides down a gilded highway -- which helps give the album a dreamy weightlessness even if it's doused in layers of electric guitars. Scratch the production gloss a bit, and it's apparent those six strings are balanced by clever drum loops and other digital flair that give the album a modern vibrancy, even if its sensibility is unabashedly retro. Perhaps all these glowing, percolating sounds don't rock as hard and heavy as the earliest Black Keys album, but Let's Rock has an appealing ease to its execution. It's a good-time record designed for daylight and, after the murky Turn Blue and its ensuing hiatus, it's refreshing to hear the Black Keys step out of the dark and into the sunshine. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

商品の紹介

2001年にオハイオ州アクロンで産声を上げ、現在まで8枚のアルバムを発表、圧倒的なグルーヴに基づいたロックンロールやガレージ、ブルースをベースにしたストレートなロック・サウンドで、常にシーンを刺激し続ける現シーンにおける最重要アクト、ザ・ブラック・キーズ!現在までに6度のグラミー賞を受賞し、コーチェラやロラパルーザ、ガバナーズ・ボールといった最大規模のフェスティヴァルでヘッドラインを務め、その圧巻のサウンドで世界中を熱狂させる彼らが、まさに待望の最新スタジオ・アルバム『"LET'S ROCK"』を完成させた!

全米を始めオーストラリアやカナダで1位を記録し、世界各国でTop10を記録した前作『TURN BLUE』がリリースされたのは2014年のこと。その後バンドとしては活動を休止、ボーカル&ギタリストのダン・オーバックはソロ活動やTHE ARCSといったバンドで活動を続ける傍ら、Easy Eye Soundというレーベルを立ち上げ、良質なアメリカン・ロック・バンドを数多く輩出していく。また、ドラマーのパトリック・カーニーはミシェル・ブランチやカルヴィン・ジョンソンといったアーティストの作品をプロデュースしたり、実際にドラムをプレイするなど、それぞれの活動を行なってきた。

ザ・ブラック・キーズとしての活動再開がいつになるのか全く見えない状況の中、二人は2019年3月、突如ザ・ブラック・キーズ名義となる新曲「Lo/Hi」を発表、約5年振りとなるバンド名義での楽曲に世界中が熱狂した。その直後には久しぶりの北米ツアーの開催を発表し、さらなる興奮を世界中に巻き起こしたのだが、遂に、ここに通算9作目となる超待望の最新作『"LET'S ROCK"』が今世界に届けられることとなるのだ…!

この最新作『"LET'S ROCK"』は、ダン・オーバックとパトリック・カーニーの二人がプロデュースを行ない、ともに曲を書き上げ、ダンが所有するナッシュビルにあるEasy Eye Sound Studioにてレコーディングが行われた作品だ。前作では緻密に計算された繊細さとロックの衝動的な荒々しさとを融合したサウンドを聴かせてくれていたのだが、今作では、ザ・ブラック・キーズの骨格ともいうべきシンプルかつラウドなロック・サウンドが高らかに鳴り響いている。「俺達二人がそろえば、完全なるザ・ブラック・キーズさ。16歳だったころからずっと変わらず、ホンモノのマジックが生み出される場所なのさ」─ダン・オーバック「このアルバムは、エレクトリック・ギターへの最大の敬意を払うような作品だ。なるべくシンプルなアプローチをとり、今までの作品にあったような贅沢な装飾をそぎ落としていったんだ」─パトリック・カーニー

3月に公開された「Lo/Hi」は、「キーズが正式に戻ってきた、かつてないラウドさとともに!」(Rolling Stone誌)、「ガレージ・ブギーなサウンドは、今回も完璧な形で鳴らされている」(New York Times紙)など、非常に大きなセンセーションを世界中に巻き起こしている。アルバム情報とともに公開された「Eagle Birds」も、シンプルかつラウドなギターとダイナミックなドラムが生み出すグルーヴがたまらない楽曲となっており、まさに「ザ・ブラック・キーズ完全復活!」の祝砲にもにた存在感を既に放っているのだ。

Rolling Stone - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]n Carney's drumming, Auerbach has the perfect anchor and drive for his freak-rock twang and moral punch. 'Every Little Thing' opens like a spasm of lead-guitar nerves from Led Zeppelin II, then drops to something darker..." Clash - "There's a strut and a swagger for sure..." NME - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's a pretty lively listen, zipping through its tracks without the drudgery that musical density or unnecessary flamboyant embellishments can bring."

全米1位を獲った『Turn Blue』(2014年)以来の新作! その間にダン・オーバックがソロなどで活躍し、パトリック・カーニーが奥様ミシェル・ブランチらの制作で名を上げたことも自信に繋がったのか、今回はデンジャー・マウスの手を離れて久々のセルフ・プロデュース作に(ミックスはチャド・ブレイクが続投)。南部味を増したブルージー&グリッティーな轟音ガレージは小手先の新しさとは無縁。圧倒的に予想通りすぎて最高だ。

今の時代に、これほどまでに無骨でストレートなロック・サウンドを聴けるのが嬉しいです。ギターのリフがとにかくカッコいい。ジャンルをクロスオーバーさせたような音楽が増えてくる中で、潔い爽快さを覚える名盤ですね。
