Thickfreakness is the second album by American blues-rock duo The Black Keys, released in 2003. It is their debut release for the Fat Possum record label.
Background
The band's debut album, The Big Come Up had been tremendously successful for an independent rock band and Thickfreakness further increased their profile. It continues The Black Keys' tradition of raw, heavy blues-influenced garage rock. Thickfreakness is known in Japan as Inazuma Rockin' Blues, with "inazuma" meaning "flash of lightning".
Songs such as "Set You Free" won the pair some mainstream success as being featured in the soundtrack of the 2003 movie, School of Rock. Heavy comparisons to another American blues-influenced garage rock duo, The White Stripes, were often made in the music media.
Recording
Most of the album was recorded in 14 hours in Carney's basement on an early '80s Tascam 388 8-track recorder. this process is called Medium Fidelity and it is stated, this recording method was patented. The goal is to achieve an older sounding sound.[1] The song "Midnight in Her Eyes" is one of the few Black Keys songs that used a bass guitar; Dan Auerbach dubbed a bassline by playing a Guild SG-style bass through a guitar amp into the song. Recorded in the basement of 45 Richmond Place, Akron, Ohio.
