I’d buy into the hype on this one. Brothers is a swampy, filthy tour-de-force. Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have created a stew of psychedelia, sludge, blues and soul. Through the trippy funk of “Black Mud,” the chug-and-groove of “Sinister Kid” and the Motown-at-a-snail’s-pace take on Gamble’s and Huff’s “Never Gonna Give You Up,” the Keys take listeners back to psychedelia of the late 1960s, but leave the era’s excess and self-indulgence behind. Maybe this is the sound Blue Cheer was aiming for.
