Download: The Blakes, ‘Basket’

The Blakes rumbled onto my radar in 2007 with an EP and full-length album on the Light in the Attic label that sounded like a less coiffed (if you can imagine that) Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. The Seattle trio of brothers Garnet and Snow Keim and drummer Bob Husak follows that up with “Souvenir,” out next week, an album that sees them dialing back the fuzz and some of the boozy swagger but delivering old-school, hooky songs in the Beatles/Kinks galaxy. Bust out the leather jackets.
