On Attack and Release, Danger Mouse is more creative coconspirator than traditional figure behind the boards. He doesn t radically alter the duo s sound so much as coax out more of it s inherent soulfulness, groove and bittersweet emotion. Two versions of Remember When illustrate how the duo can swing easily from smoldering ballad to thrashing rocker. I m more pleased with the sound of this record than any one we ve ever made, says Carney, and Auerbach concurs: We never let it all go like we did for this one, anything was game. It was just fun to make, and that s why I think it s so successful.
