Danger Mouse keeps busy. Set aside the recent flurry of Gnarlsy news and tracks. Just today we hear that the "unnamed producer" working on Beck's next album is mighty Mouse himself which, after taking a good listen to his work here on the Black Keys' "Psychotic Girl," is just perfect. Danger, who produces the Keys new record, puts the blues-rock duo on a wobbling, oozing rhythmic cushion that keeps spiraling out under the Keys' rusty slide guitars and achy day vocals. In between those layers come flecks of banjo and the sort of cavernous backing harmonies ?uestlove was just singing along to on Barkley's "Who's Gonna Save My Soul." It's a mid-tempo fat beat, and it's a very good look.
