The result is an eclectic effort that seemingly takes The Black Keys into new musical territory while still maintaining its blues-rock foundation.<\/p>\n<p>We recently chatted with Carney about the band\u2019s business issues, their influential <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/recordhang\/?hl=en\">\u201cRecord Hangs\u201d<\/a> \u2014 a series of meticulously planned all-vinyl dance parties hosted by the band and open to the public \u2014 and the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q<\/strong> Pat, before we chat about the new album, let\u2019s go back a year, when the band was changing management. How did that experience make you and Dan closer?<\/p>\n<p><strong>A<\/strong> The music industry is just rife with those stories. I mean, every artist has one, and we had yet to have ours. But the industry has changed multiple times in many ways since we started. We\u2019re kind of cockroaches; we knew we were going to get through it, but it just sucks, especially knowing last year we made one of my favorite records. We knew the record was basically dead in its tracks. So we just had no other option than to do what we love the most, which is to go back in the studio and make another album that we\u2019re also very proud of. We\u2019ve been at a pretty crazy clip here making music. From 2019 to now, it\u2019s like six albums in seven years, so it\u2019s pretty nuts.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1818815\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone size-article_inline\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;We try to play stuff that&#8217;s pretty rare but shouldn&#8217;t be,&#8221; says Patrick Carney, left, of the &#8220;Record Hangs&#8221; he hosts with his bandmate in The Black Keys and fellow Akron native, Dan Auerbach. &#8220;At the end of the day, we&#8217;re just huge fans of music.&#8221; (Larry Niehues)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Q<\/strong> How did the notion of the \u201cRecord Hangs\u201d influence \u201cNo Rain, No Flowers\u201d?<\/p>\n<p><strong>A<\/strong> Dan was looking for something to do after shows, so he started bringing his records out and then asked me to bring some of mine. It led to me and him just going nuts on the record collecting and now we take them with us on tour. It\u2019s just a cool way to spend an evening. And in the right location, people start dancing and stuff like that. There\u2019s just not enough of that in this world. Plus, this is more about musical discovery. We try to play stuff that\u2019s pretty rare but shouldn\u2019t be. At the end of the day, we\u2019re just huge fans of music. It still fascinates us \u2014 discovering new music, learning how to make it. That feeds the inspiration, like when we first got together in my dad\u2019s basement; we just wanted to make something, record something.<\/p>\n<p>Q What are a few new tracks that find The Black Keys covering different ground?<\/p>\n<p><strong>A<\/strong> Our records just reflect what we\u2019re listening to, really. This new record was just an extension of the \u201cRecord Hangs\u201d in general. <strong>A<\/strong> song like \u201cMakes You Mine\u201d has this really kind of soul tinge to it. It\u2019s something that we couldn\u2019t have made on our own, but it sounds like The Black Keys because we made it. Then, a song like \u201cNo Rain, No Flowers\u201d has a four-on-the-floor, almost disco beat, with a post-punk kind of guitar hook. I wouldn\u2019t say this record is experimental, but it\u2019s eclectic, and it\u2019s reflective of our record bags, where there\u2019s a lot of funk, soul, garage rock, glam rock, punk, cumbia and instrumentals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Black Keys - Thickfreakness (Official Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/baGjcrbwJIk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>Q<\/strong> Finally, the band hits its 25-year mark in 2027. Have you thought about Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame eligibility?<\/p>\n<p><strong>A<\/strong> There are a lot of bands not in there that maybe should be, but it\u2019s the institution. When Jack White was announced as an inductee this year, I texted him right away, \u201cCongratulations,\u201d because it means something to me, and it means something to him. He was excitedm and he was grateful that I reached out. He\u2019s the first true peer of mine to get in there. So I think it\u2019s cool to get that kind of praise.<\/p>\n<h3>The Black Keys<\/h3>\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong> 7:30 p.m. Aug. 22.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong> Blossom Music Center, 1145 W.
