THE Black Keys are one of those bands that most people know by name, but not necessarily by music, but their latest album is an example of accessibility through familiarity.

Opening with the leisurely Weight Of Love, the pace is set: a two-minute intro could be easily mistaken for something from Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here, before the vocals kick in and open the track into a more familiar indie sound in Starsailor style.

The synth and drum-led title track, with lots of room afforded for Dan Auerbach’s vocals, is reminiscent of French two-piece Air, while Fever sees bass front and centre coupled with a poppy synthesiser riff and bouncy chorus.

Elsewhere, In Our Prime sounds as if Ben Folds has lent the Ohio pair a very good B-side to record as their own, and It’s Up To You Now is a foot-stomper that sounds unique until the realisation that the guitar part is awfully similar to Terrorvision’s Tequila.

On the whole, Turn Blue is a great album, but while it might help widen The Black Keys audience, it might not help them make their own name.
