I was listening to Dan’s new solo songs on his MySpace page at work today.
There’s only 3 songs to judge from but it’s clear the album, Keep It Hid, is going to be a really interesting listen.
“Trouble Weighs A Ton” is a slow, stripped back, rootsy number.
“I Want Some More” and “The Prowl” have some trademark psychedelic distortion on the guitar.
“I Want Some More” could well be a straight up Black Keys song with the distinctive thump-thump drum work. The layers of guitar on this track are really cool.
The drum intro on “The Prowl” has a real hip-hop beat flavour. It influences the looping vocal delivery that Dan gives the lyrics.
Can’t wait for the album when it is released February 10, 2009.
I reckon this photo of Dan that I took in Sydney 2008 sums up the dark feel of the albums lyrics.
