(Radio.com) Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach has also been making his name as a producer, and came away from sessions recording Lana Del Rey's upcoming full-length, Ultraviolence, with a new found respect for the "Young and Beautiful" chanteuse.

"We went out one night with some people, some friends of Tom [Elmhirst]'s and she was there hanging out, and I had never met her before," Auerbach told Rolling Stone about the initial Del Rey connection through mutual friend Elmhirst, a noted mix engineer he worked with on Ray Lamontagne's latest full-length, Supernova. "She didn't really know my music, I didn't really know her music, to be honest. I knew about her because, you know, she's in the press so much. But we just hung out and we like talked about music and realized we had things in common�What started off as 'Let's get together for a couple days with some musicians' turned into two weeks doing an album.

"Her demos were so good, her songs were so strong that I wanted to get my musicians in who I love and get my sound that I get here with her songs and that's it," Auerbach said of the recordings.

"I didn't want to mess it up. She sang live with a seven-piece band. That's the whole record - a seven-piece band with her singing live. It was crazy� She's a true eccentric, and, you know, extremely talented. She has a definite vision of what she is and what she wants to be, musically and visually, which is cool." more on this story
