Turn Blue, the ninth studio album by The Black Keys, was recorded in 2014 at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama and at the band's own Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville, Tennessee. The album was produced by the duo of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney alongside producer Danger Mouse, marking a significant collaboration that shaped the album's more polished and expansive sound compared to their previous work. The recording process incorporated live instrumentation and session musicians, moving away from the raw, minimalist approach of earlier Black Keys records, which represented an intentional sonic evolution for the band. Danger Mouse's production work brought sophisticated arrangements and a focus on melody and atmosphere, while the band also utilized analog recording techniques at both studios. The album was released in May 2014 and showcased the band's willingness to experiment with different sonic textures while maintaining their blues-rock foundation.
