“Attenzione può generare dipendenza“. Ecco la controindicazione che manca sulla copertina del nuovo disco dei Black Keys, “El Camino“, giunto nelle nostre cuffie in chiusura di questo anno, tutto sommato caratterizzato da una certa sobrietà musicale. E invece il duo dell’Ohio ci travolge con i suoi pezzi al fulmicotone, ricordandoci che ad alzare le chiappe …

I maintain that we are all at war with something great.” She describes her own music as romantic and simple but with a heartbreak beat.
