Turn Blue

The Black Keys

A sprawling, psychedelic departure defined by lush analog synths, extended guitar solos, and a heavy, melancholic soul that trades garage grit for space-rock depth.

A heavy, psychedelic introspection that feels like a slow-motion fever dream of heartbreak.

Moments Worth Listening For
The nearly seven-minute opening track Weight of Love which begins with acoustic strumming before erupting into a soaring, multi-part guitar odyssey.
The transition in Bullet in the Brain where the steady groove suddenly dissolves into a swirling, psychedelic bridge.
The way the bassline in the title track anchors a ghostly, high-register vocal performance that feels like it's floating in a void.

Melancholic saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
