The one thing The Black Keys had to do with their new album was not let Danger Mouse produce it. Fever is the first taste from The Black Keys’ new album Turn Blue, produced by, fuck, it’s Danger Mouse isn’t it? Dammit. Fever sounds like it wrote itself, failing to conjure up anything resembling a good time. Lonely Boy was trash, but at least you could get down to it. I’m not blindly railing against the Danger Mouse-Keys team-up, Everlasting Light is top shelf, but the duo now seems stuck in the same creative stagnancy they suffered just prior to Danger Mouse taking over the panels.
