The Black Keys have gone back to their public access television roots with the new video for "Fever," off their upcoming studio album, Turn Blue. Back in 2004, their highly acclaimed music video for "10 A.M. Automatic" took place on a public access TV show with a rabbi preaching to an elderly audience.
Now, eight years later, "Fever" parodies lo-fi religious programs that play on public access TV with scrolling messages asking for donations.
The clip, directed by Theo Wenner (Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner's son), features Dan Auerbach as a sweaty televangelist and Patrick Carney as his Bible-toting sidekick, who sneaks sips of booze.
The Black Keys recently premiered a new track off their album on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show. Listen to "Bullet in the Brain" here.
Produced by Danger Mouse, Turn Blue is due out May 13 via Nonesuch Records. In support of the new record, the band will be performing on Saturday Night Live May 10.
