вЂњYвЂ™know, like, Dan would do a guitar overdub and I would take a 57 by the mic cord and just spin it around in front of the amp like a propeller, to phase it. вЂњWe both were just really into trying different things,вЂќ says Carney. Together, however, the Black Keys learned quickly, through a combination of understanding exactly the sound they were trying to achieve - a raw, gritty take on bluesвЂ“rock - and playful experimentation. вЂњPat put his name on the records as a producer, just вЂ™cause he saw that on records and thought, IвЂ™ll put вЂProduced ByвЂ™ Neither of us knew what the hell a producer was.вЂќ Comeuppances вЂњNeither of us knew what we were doing,вЂќ Auerbach laughs. We realised that weвЂ™d been producing ourselves all along.вЂќ We didnвЂ™t even know what producing was until we worked with a producer. вЂњI think at the time we didnвЂ™t really know what the terminology was. вЂњI mean, I would say technically I didnвЂ™t produce those records,вЂќ Carney stresses. Both members of the Black Keys are now individually renowned as producers of other artists (of which more later) and say that the drummerвЂ™s producer status on their initial albums was the result more of youthful innocence than any grand scheme. вЂњAnd that became our demo and thatвЂ™s when the band started, вЂ™cause we just had so much fun recording.вЂќДЇor The Big Come Up and its 2003 successor Thickfreakness, Carney took a producer credit. вЂњI just set up the mics and we recorded a bunch of songs,вЂќ Carney remembers. Instead, Carney and Auerbach began playing together, instigating the formation of the Black Keys. Fatefully for the two, the other members of AuerbachвЂ™s group didnвЂ™t turn up. The pair first starting working together when Carney, already a recording enthusiast, invited singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach down to his home studio to record the latterвЂ™s rock covers band on his Korg D12 digital workstation. Their commercial progress has been mirrored by their recording history, which began with the two jamming in 2001 in the basement of drummer Patrick CarneyвЂ™s house to create their 2002 debut The Big Come Up and which this year saw them complete their eighth album Turn Blue at Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles. The Black Keys have built a career on a shared love of studio experimentation.ДЇrom their highвЂ“school beginnings in Akron, Ohio, to their current standing as one of the most successful rock bands in the world, the Black KeysвЂ™ career has been a long, slow climb.
