Their longtime producer Brian “Danger Mouse” Burton is in a pretty good spot, too, working this year with on albums as entrenched as U2’s and as anticipated as Frank Ocean’s. Burton has hinted at more of a psychedelic, loose direction for the band’s upcoming _Turn Blue_ (the album art perhaps does more than hint), but its title track, released today, is as slick as anything off _El Camino_, string stabs and rattlesnake hisses and a snarl of a bass synth beneath the Keys’ hazed-over vocals all done with perfectionist precision. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/62310/black-keys-turn-blue-audio/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/62310/black-keys-turn-blue-audio/"},"headline":"The Black Keys Go Slick Psychedelic on \"Turn Blue\": Listen","datePublished":"2014-04-14T20:22:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:18:10.381Z","description":"Hear the title track from the band's upcoming LP","url":"https://time.com/62310/black-keys-turn-blue-audio/","keywords":["Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katherine St. Asaph","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katherine-st-asaph/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/62310/black-keys-turn-blue-audio/","name":"The Black Keys Go Slick Psychedelic on \"Turn Blue\": Listen"}}]}] ```
