The Black Keys Fan Lounge Forum

I was thinking Mark Neil formerly of Toe Rag Studios was producing the new album. Maybe he just engineered the recording

Danger Mouse is apparently back in the seat for some of it at least. Maybe just mixing?

"Black Keys and Dangermouse in the Bunker!
We just finished a busy long weekend with The Black Keys and Dangermouse, working on the single for their new record... the track is gonna be banging! They are a bunch of really talented dudes, and are also a lot of fun to hang out with, so it was a really fun, really productive session. Can't wait to hear the final mixes!"

The Bunker is the home of sound and mayhem for John Davis and Aaron Nevezie"

I wouldn't expect a Thickfreakness or Big Come Up sound anytime soon. They've obviously evolved with each record. I have no clue what to expect with this one, but it has been said that this is their most minimal approach yet.

Not sure, but I doubt this (if he's producing, not mixing) is for April. I remember reading not too long ago that the April release is self-produced. Maybe this for their other two albums in production?

hmm, The Bunker has removed their post about Danger Mouse and The Black Keys

I had left a comment on the post asking for clarification whether Danger Mouse was producing or mixing a track. whether it was new material or material recorded at muscle Shoals

not sure why they would be spooked into removing it

I'm fairly convinced now Danger Mouse is just doing a mix/radio edit for the single off the album recorded at Muscle Shoals . the original post says as much.

Mark Neil mentioned a few tracks would be sent out to people to mix for singles/radio edits but the whole recording and album was designed to be, and was only, recorded and mixed by him

I believe they or someone edited out the spooky gospel choir part of "I Got Mine" for radio.
