The Black Keys rocked The Wiltern in Los Angeles last night, celebrating the release of their new album, Attack & Release, with a couple thousand fans. The Associated Press album review struggles to single out one song to recommend above the rest: "There are so many delightful songs here, it's hard to pick one. Let's go with 'Psychotic Girl,' a song so unlike anything the Keys have done it's startling ... a melange of familiar sounds spun into a new flavor of cotton candy we've never tasted before."

The Black Keys rocked The Wiltern in Los Angeles last night, celebrating the release of their new album, Attack & Release, with a couple thousand fans.

In the Associated Press review of the new Danger Mouse-produced album, writer Chris Talbott aims to single out one song to recommend above the rest. He writes:

There are so many delightful songs here, it's hard to pick one. Let's go with "Psychotic Girl," a song so unlike anything the Keys have done it's startling. Danger Mouse layers the song with banjo, organ, funky bass, a skip-along snare line and Auerbach's weathered voice---a melange of familiar sounds spun into a new flavor of cotton candy we've never tasted before.

You can read the AP review in the San Francisco Chronicle at sfgate.com. You can listen to "Psychotic Girl," along with two other tracks from the album, at nonesuch.com/theblackkeys.
