"Sister" comes off El Camino, the Black Keys' seventh studio album, released on Nonesuch in December 2011. Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney wrote it with Danger Mouse, who had a hand in all 11 of the album's songs and co-produced the whole thing with the duo; Kennie Takahashi engineered and Tchad Blake mixed.
The sessions ran from March to May 2011 at Easy Eye Sound, the Nashville studio Auerbach had opened the year before, and the band walked in with nothing written. Stung by how hard the slower songs from Brothers had been to pull off on stage, they went for faster, hookier material this time, raiding rock and roll, glam, rockabilly, surf and soul from the 1950s through the 1970s.
