I assume you mean what happened to the Black Keys, as I'm not aware of any solo work from Auerbach since 2009. It does seem they have lost touch with the grittier blues sound that they used to have though. Their latest single "Fever" just feels so empty by comparison, simple, and repetitious. I don't know if they are just trying to reach more off a mass market audience, or if they are simply burning out themselves.

I dont like fever. the album and the single. It's a wash, it's lazy and it's a pandering. I say this out of all the love I have for Auerbach's album as well as Rubber Factory, The Come Up, hell even Brothers. Coincidence that they played played last year's Grammy's and they just got superfamous since El Camino? No! But just as shameful and sad. Their sound growled and whimpered out of a tiny town somewhere in the middle of nowhere, it's not the same in Madison Square Garden.
