S2E10 - El Camino - The Black Keys

2 years ago

We welcome Jenn's little brother Matt on the show to discuss one of his favorite albums "El Camino" by The Black Keys.

If you didn't know that this was a breakup album, now is your chance to dive into the meaning behind an album that, at face value, is just full of southern rock inspired guitar riffs that make good soundtracks to car commercials. This album is so much more than that.

From viral videos to smart marketing, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney are a perfect duo that not only busted out this timeless record but also brought in a new generation of rock that the world didn't know it was missing.

Matt brings us through what makes this album so great, Jenn gives us a crash course on contemporary artist Harmony Korine, and Emily shares her findings of deeper meanings that are hidden behind the gritty facade of resonators and catchy riffs.
