Magic Potion

The Black Keys

Heavy, fuzz-drenched blues rock recorded in an Akron basement. A raw, stomp-heavy collection of original songs that define the duo's early rust-belt grit.

A gritty, stomp-heavy collection of rust-belt blues that feels both claustrophobic and defiant.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, jagged opening riff of Your Touch that immediately sets the basement-rock tone.
The slow-burn psychedelic sprawl of Goodbye Babylon as it stretches into a five-minute heavy blues jam.
The way the drums hit with a hollow, concrete-room echo on Just Got to Be.
