Lord have mercy. The Black Keys are back.

So far, the two songs released from the Black Keys' forthcoming Brothers—due May 18th—blow past everything on 2008's Attack & Release. "Next Girl" has been melting my face of all morning. It looks like those side projects—BlakRoc, Drummer and Dan Auerbach's solo gig—have reinvigorated the duo.
