Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p El Camino is the seventh studio album by American rock band The Black Keys. It was co-produced by Danger Mouse and the group, and was released on December 6, 2011 on Nonesuch Records. The follow-up to the band's 2010 commercial breakthrough, Brothers, El Camino was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee at Easy Eye Sound Studio, which was opened in 2010 by guitarist Dan Auerbach. The record draws from popular genres of the 1950s–1970s, such as rock and roll, glam rock, rockabilly, surf rock and soul. The band cited several retro acts as musical influences, including The Clash, The Cramps, T. Rex, Ramones, The Beatles, Sweet, The Cars and Johnny Burnette. Based on the difficulty the group had performing some of Brothers' slower songs live, it conceived more uptempo tracks for El Camino. Danger Mouse contributed as a co-writer on each of the 11 songs."Lonely Boy" was released in October as the lead single, accompanied by a popular one-shot music video of a man dancing. The song became the group's highest-charting single in several countries, including the United States, Australia, and Canada. A faux newspaper advertisement and parody car commercial advertising an old van as an "El Camino" were used to promote the record prior to release. The album received positive reviews from critics and was ranked by many publications as one of the best albums of the year. In the US, it debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and sold 206,000 copies in its first week, the highest charting position and single-week sales the group has achieved in the country. The Black Keys supported the album with the El Camino Tour, their first headlining arena tour. Three additional singles were released, including "Gold on the Ceiling" and "Little Black Submarines", which were rock radio successes. At the 55th Annual Grammy Awards, El Camino won the award for Best Rock Album, while "Lonely Boy" received honors for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song.. }
