"Ohio Players is The Black Keys' fourth album in five years, a momentum with a simple explanation, Auerbach says: 'We never stopped recording.' There was his and Carney’s reunion, after a five-year hiatus, on 2019’s 'Let’s Rock', then the 2021 blast of Mississippi-hill-country covers, Delta Kream. A rapid-fire follow-up of new originals, 2022’s Dropout Boogie, featured the duo working with outside writers for the first time: Greg Cartwright of Memphis rockers Reigning Sound and Angelo Petraglia, who has worked with Kings of Leon and the teenage Taylor Swift. (Cartwright and Petraglia are back for Ohio Players too.) 'We'd never worked harder to make a record,' Dan Auerbach says. 'It's never taken us this long to make an album. We took our time and did it right.' 'What we wanted to accomplish with this record was make something that was fun,' Patrick Carney says. 'And something that most bands 20 years into their career don’t make, which is an approachable, fun record that is also cool.' While making Ohio Players, a title inspired by the legendary Dayton, OH funk band of the same name, The Black Keys were also DJing dance parties in cities around the world that they called 'record hangs,' spinning 45s from their own eclectic and growing collections. Mojo reports, 'The spirit of those parties infused the album’s DNA. ‘That’s been the fun of it, letting go a little bit’ says Auerbach." - Nonesuch
