Dive into the murky, psychedelic world of The Black Keys with their eighth studio album, "Turn Blue." Released on May 12, 2014, via Nonesuch Records, this 45-minute journey is a blend of blues rock, garage rock, and modern blues that showcases the duo's signature sound with a touch of '70s stoner-rock vibes. Co-produced by Danger Mouse, Dan Auerbach, and Patrick Carney, "Turn Blue" is a testament to the band's evolution, merging intelligence, imagination, and their enviable talent.
The album kicks off with the haunting "Weight of Love," setting the tone for the introspective and somewhat subdued collection that follows. Tracks like "Fever" and "Bullet in the Brain" highlight the band's knack for crafting memorable hooks and gritty rhythms, while songs such as "In Time" and "Year in Review" offer a more laid-back, reflective mood. With "Turn Blue," The Black Keys deliver a smart and engaging record that fans of their previous work will appreciate, and newcomers will find an excellent introduction to the band's unique sound.
