The first track from the album, also titled Turn Blue, was leaked last month and was produced by Danger Mouse, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney. The album includes 11 new tracks. Video has also surfaced of the group performing a new track entitled Bullet in the Brain for the BBC.
The Black Keys plan to headline the Hangout Festival in Alabama on May 16. They then embark on an extensive European festival tour this summer.
Speaking on the meaning of the title Turn Blue, Carney offered 5 possible interpretations including Suffocation, Sadness, Numbness from extreme cold, A Cleveland late night TV host from the 1960s named Ghoulardi, and the most likely suggestion, all of the above.
Carney comments, “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.”
