Things have been "absolutely insane" for The Black Keys. That's a quote from the band's lead singer and guitarist himself, Dan Auerbach. Before 2011 came to a close, he and bandmate Patrick Carney hit No. 2 on Billboard's 'Top 200' albums chart the week of the December 6 release of their seventh studio album, El Camino. Since then, the LP has been certified gold. A few days after it hit stores, the Keys announced a string of 2012 tour dates set in arena-sized venues throughout the world. Fifteen minutes after the announcement, their March 12 concert at Madison Square Garden sold out. As if that wasn't wild enough, their March 22 show at MSG is now sold out too. Now, their first single from El Camino, "Lonely Boy," is holding steady atop Billboard's 'Rock Songs' chart. Despite that, the folks over at Nonesuch Records must feel it's time to press go on the second single. "Gold On The Ceiling" is without a doubt one of the most popular songs on the LP, and now with its strong entries onto the 'Alternative Songs' and 'Rock Songs' charts at No. 32 and 50, respectively, and this brand new music video, it will without a doubt become even more popular. The video, shown above, consists of footage from the El Camino release event that took place in New York City back in December. Check it out, and purchase the album on iTunes or Amazon now if you haven't already.
