"Strange Times"

Video: The Black Keys: "Strange Times"

Writing about this song when it hit MySpace, Stephen M. Deusner said that the Danger Mouse-produced track "has the same blues-rock foundation as the Keys' past work; they've just constructed a more ornate building on top." The video, directed by Lance Bangs, uses the tune to soundtrack a game of Laser Tag. Even better, the Keys' website has a sweet video game with retro vector graphics so you can live inside your own version of the video. Looking forward to that Tron remake. (via Subterranean)
