The Black Keys
El Camino
Nonesuch
With sleek, sexy and surprising cover art of people-movers both retro and modern, a gleaming silver sticker on the front instructing you to ‘play loud’, and eleven smouldering tracks within, the latest album from Ohio duo The Black Keys is this summer’s biggest fire hazard.

David Lynch
Crazy Clown Time
Sunday Best

Biophilia
