Before the Black Keys pull Magic Potion out of their cauldron (September 12-- what's with Nonesuch artists and egg cover art?), they'd like to practice their tricks...via Internet. Buahaha!
The Akron boys dropped a digital-only EP, Your Touch on iTunes today to tide us over until their LP lands. The three-track download borrows two of its songs from Magic Potion and features one live number. Speaking of which, the Keys kick off a massive fall tour early next month. But you already knew that.
