The track is the first single off the band’s upcoming eighth studio album which is due out on May 13. “We are always trying to push ourselves when we make a record — not repeat our previous work but not abandon it either,” said drummer Patrick Carney. “On this record, we let the songs breathe and explored moods, textures and sounds. We’re excited for the world to hear Turn Blue.” For Turn Blue, the band once again worked with renowned producer Danger Mouse, who has also been working with U2 on new music. The album artwork for Turn Blue was once again designed by Michael Carney, brother of Patrick and The Black Keys long-time art director. Michael won a Grammy Award in 2011 for Best Recording Package for the band’s Brothers album.

The new disc is the follow-up to the band’s 2011 monster LP, El Camino.
