Oooooooooh...

The new Black Keys album, Attack and Release, is out next week.

But you can listen to it here right now.

Have heard the first three tracks and oh, do I like it.

Producer Danger Mouse (of Gnarls Barkley and Grey Album fame) apparently asked the Black Keys boys to write a set of songs for Ike Turner last year. When Turner died, they morphed it into this strange and wonderful record.

It's a slow drink of whiskey of a record -- some southern fried electric blues, some British blues revival psychedlia, a little soul and R&B for good measure.

Go and listen. It won't cost you anything and you'll feel sexier all day.

Here are the boys rocking "Your Touch" live:
