The Black Keys have announced a whirlwind 2015 world tour to celebrate the success of their eighth full-length album 'Turn Blue'.
Having debuted on the ARIA Charts and Billboard 200 at #1, 'Turn Blue' is the band's highest charting album to date internationally (and the charts don't lie). Their first single 'Fever' still sits at the top of radio lists while their latest single 'Gotta Get Away' is also hitting the airwaves daily.
Following their critically and commercially acclaimed album 'El Camino', 'Turn Blue' had a lot riding on its success. Drummer Patrick Carney says they push themselves every time they make an album, to not repeat their 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'.”
Of the album, the band says 'Turn Blue' could refer to: A: Suffocation B: Sadness C: Numbness from extreme cold D: A Cleveland late night TV host from the 1960s named Ghoulardi or E: All of the above. Either way the album which the band co-produced themselves is deep on many levels.
Having already announced their return to Australian shore as part of the highly anticipated Byron Bay Bluesfest in 2015, The Black Keys are also taking 'Turn Blue' on a national tour.
