Congratulations to The Black Keys: their latest album, Brothers, has just been certified Gold! The band stopped by the Nonesuch offices in New York City yesterday to receive their Gold records.

While in New York, band mates Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have kept themselves busy, performing on Saturday Night Live this past weekend and again on the Late Show with David Letterman on Monday night. Yet before they could leave the city, there was one more very important stop the two had to make, and last night, they made it, when Auerbach and Carney visited The Colbert Report.

No breezy television appearance this, Auerbach and Carney were invited as "leading scholars on The Black Keys" to help Stephen Colbert fill out his all-important Grammy ballot on the last day of voting. They helped Colbert narrow down the choices for Best Alternative Music Album, one of six categories in which the band is nominated this year.

While we at the Nonesuch Journal recognize the proper selection as an obvious one, Colbert chooses to complicate matters by welcoming Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend onto the show to offer his two-cents as well. Of course, nothing good could come of this, which we highly recommend you see for yourself by watching the segment below:

    The 27-disc box set Steve Reich Collected Works is out now on Nonesuch. It features music recorded during the composer's 40 years on the label—six decades of his compositions, including first recordings of his two latest works, Jacob’s Ladder and Traveler’s Prayer (both also available to stream/download today)—plus two extensive booklets with new essays by Robert Hurwitz, Michael Tilson Thomas, Russell Hartenberger, Judith Sherman, and Nico Muhly, and a comprehensive listener’s guide by Timo Andres. Nonesuch made its first record with Steve Reich in 1985; he was signed exclusively to the label that year. Collected Works includes 24 discs of Nonesuch recordings and three from other labels. You can watch an unboxing video narrated by the composer here.

    Cinematic electro-pop duo Ringdown, featuring Danni Lee Parpan and Pulitzer and Grammy winner Caroline Shaw, will release its debut album, Lady on the Bike, May 9. The album celebrates the feeling of possibility in myriad forms: the possibility of love; the possibility of creating connection and community in a world trying to pull those things apart; the possibility of making music in new ways. Ringdown will create additional custom sleeves for the first 50 Nonesuch Store vinyl orders. The duo will perform with Sō Percussion and in its own headlining shows this spring and summer.
