The Black Keys’ new album, Turn Blue, was released May 13 on Nonesuch Records. 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. Carney comments on the new album, “We are always trying to push ourselves when we make a record—not repeat our previous work but not abandon it either. On this record, we let the songs breathe and explored moods, textures and sounds. We’re excited for the world to hear Turn Blue.” This is the eighth full-length album from the duo and follows 2011’s El Camino. The Black Keys have embarked on an extensive European festival tour this summer. For more visit www.theblackkeys.com.
