Unless, of course, the song is _really_ good. The Black Keys have just released their first new material from their upcoming album — and there’s little doubt that fans of the Ohio rockers will love it. On “Fever”, bandmembers Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney teamed up with producer Danger Mouse to craft a psychedelic stomper with an incredibly irresistible melody. It bodes well for the direction of the Black Keys’s eighth studio album, which they announced a few days ago via Mike Tyson’s Twitter feed. (No, [really](https://twitter.com/MikeTyson/status/447104513585852416 "undefined")). _Turn Blue_, the follow-up to their Grammy-winning _El Camino,_ is due out May 13th via Nonesuch Records. “We are always trying to push ourselves when we make a record — not repeat our previous work but not abandon it either,” Carney said of the album in a press release. “On this record, we let the songs breathe and explored moods, textures and sounds. We’re excited for the world to hear _Turn Blue_.” Listen to “Fever” up top. **_Turn Blue_** **tracklist:** 01\. Weight of Love 02\. In Time 03\. Turn Blue 04\. Fever 05\. Year in Review 06\.
