Attack & Release, the fourth studio album by The Black Keys, was recorded in 2008 at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama with producer Danger Mouse. The album marked a significant shift in the band's approach, incorporating more diverse instrumentation and layered production compared to their previous blues-rock minimalism. Danger Mouse brought his hip-hop production sensibilities to the project, introducing orchestral arrangements, strings, and additional instrumentation that expanded the duo's sonic palette. The recording sessions took place over several weeks at the legendary studio, known for its rich history with soul and rock artists. The album's production represented a deliberate move away from the band's earlier raw, two-piece aesthetic toward a more expansive and arranged sound.
