Menomena performing “TAOS” from the album Mines live for pitchfork.tv

This has always seemed like a rather unconventional band to me, embracing sour notes every now and again, but I’ve always been drawn to their unique sound. It’s been almost two years since this album released, and a year since they lost founding member Brent Knopf, but judging from this video things are alright for the band.

These videos from Le Blogotheque just may be some of my favorite things ever [via this band]:

Black Keys - Lonely Boy The latest single from the Black Keys...

Black Keys - Lonely Boy

The latest single from the Black Keys has been posted to youtube by the band. The new album, El Camino, is due out December 6. I don’t quite understand why the auto on the album art looks absolutely nothing like my uncle’s old Chevy El Camino, but maybe I just don’t “get it.” Either way, the song is good; fun, catchy and very typical of the “Brothers” era Black Keys stuff.

The Black Keys have been in it for nearly a decade. If you’re new to the blues inspired rock duo, I highly suggest you check out their archives. Chulahoma (which covers blues legend Junior Kimbrough), Magic Potion and Rubber Factory, even 2008’s Attack and Release, all possess a different kind of soul. No hate to the Black Keys for running with their catchy new rock sound, but I really miss the blues. I guess things ain’t like they used to be.
