This Arcs record...

I guess I hadn't been too compelled to check it out until now because I've gotten a little burned out by the Black Keys ubiquity, but...

Shit, some fucking awesome stuff going on here. The songs are great, but there's especially a lot to dweeb out about from a recording standpoint. The guitar tones, esp the fuzzes... god damn (I guess that's to be expected from Auerbach).

I also really liked his first solo record—why don't the Black Keys just play like this all the time? They've long since broken away from the bare guitar/drums sound.

Anyway. Shit is good.

But yep, less bluesy, more 70s funk/soul. Isaac Hayes-y. Pretty much a pastiche but nonetheless enjoyable.
