Delta Kream

Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney recorded this project in ten hours in Nashville. The work acts as a direct homage to the Mississippi hill country blues figures who influenced their early approach. They avoid slick studio techniques in favor of a dirty, live feeling.

The sessions rely on repetitive rhythms associated with R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. By keeping the arrangements sparse, the duo maintains a heavy atmosphere throughout the record. It represents a move toward the basic origins of their band.
