The Black Keys - Turn Blue LP

The Black Keys' new album, Turn Blue, was produced by Danger Mouse, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney. Turn Blue features 11 new tracks including the first single, "Fever."

Turn Blue was recorded at Sunset Sound in Hollywood during the summer of 2013 with additional recording done at the Key Club in Benton Harbor, MI and Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound in Nashville in early 2014. Of the new album, the band says Turn Blue could refer to:

A: Suffocation
B: Sadness
C: Numbness from extreme cold
D: A Cleveland late night TV host from the 1960s named Ghoulardi
E: All of the above


Moreover, Carney comments, "We are always trying to push ourselves when we make arecord--not repeat our previous work but not abandon it either. On this record, we let the songsbreathe and explored moods, textures and sounds. We're excited for the world to hear Turn Blue."

This is the eigth full-length album from the duo and follows 2011's critically and commercially acclaimed El Camino, which is now certified RIAA Platinum.
