The Black Keysmarked the release day of their new LP,Turn Blue, by visiting the master of the awkward interview, Stephen Colbert. The duo sat down for a joint chat onThe Colbert Reportand faced an onslaught of the hosts hilarious questions before performing two cuts from their eighth studio album, hooky lead single Fever (available above) and the moody Turn Blue.
The Black Keys: A Decade of Hard Work Pays Off
During their talk, Colbert noted it was the bands fourth appearance on theReport, but somehow the host and musicians still hadnt established a, well, rapport. First, Colbert asks why the band decided to embrace psychedelia (annunciating the word perfectly) on their new LP, leading outspoken drummer Patrick Carney who recently shared some less than flattering opinions on Justin Bieber and the new posthumous Michael Jackson LPto take a jab at the Keys harshest critics: Apparently we made the album wrong, according to Pitchfork. (Dont rope us into this, dude: Rolling Stones David Fricke gave the LP four-and-a-half stars in his glowing review.)
Elsewhere, Colbert asks how his prostate influenced the new album (It brought us into our blue period, frontman Dan Auerbach cracks), and Carney takes another sarcastic stab at his critics when Colbert brings up Turn Blueslengthier songs: Our primitive neanderthal minds expanded slightly and contextualized four-to-seven-minute songs this time around, he says. (Thats good for DJs because thats enough time to go take a dump, Colbert replies.) But the true highlight involves no words: As the conversation comes to a standstill, Colbert calls for a group moment of silence, asking them to wait for something to arise that we want to talk about.
