Chinen begins the article with a scene-setter lede, taking us through the opening moments of a recent Black Keys show, an event readers are more likely to be familiar with, since the Black Keys have been around for a few years now. By keeping his readers in familiar territory before launching into Auerbach's new project, Chinen creates a nice segway to lead his readers onto the real news of the article.
He then goes on to contrast the Black Keys music with Auerbach's new project, so that fans of Auerbach's old music will know what to expect from his solo record. The story is peppered with quotes from Auerbach, which means Chinen was able to interview the musician, and he adds that Auerbach's bandmate from the Black Keys, drummer Pat Carney, declined an interview for the story. The fact that somebody declines an interview can sometimes be a story in itself, if for example the Black Keys had a nasty breakup. This is not the case in this story however, so Carney's reason for declining remains a mystery.
