[trojanchick99]

Here's the lead single off of the upcoming album Turn Blue.

It's titled Fever.

Danger Mouse also co-produced the album. Let's see how many albums with a Danger Mouse credit come out before U2's does.

 

[BoMac]

Oh, and I like the song. Cool tune.

 

[martha]

It's ok. I really miss the guitar and drums.

 

[last unicorn]

That's Mr. Danger Mouse for you here.

I like it.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

More like Turn BLEW am I rite?

Just kidding, these guys are ok.

 

[nielsgov]

This is only decent which is disappointing.

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, I thought this was just okay.

Streaming on iTunes ahead of its release next week.

Danger Mouse co-wrote all 11 songs and produced nine of them.

 

[mikal]

Yeah, I've streamed it to and from my way to work and so far I'm liking it quite a bit!

 

[martha]

I can't seem to get interested in this. I also couldn't get the itunes stream to work.

 

[BoMac]

I really, really like it.

 

[mikal]

I can't seem to get interested in this. I also couldn't get the itunes stream to work.

I could see how those two could go hand in hand.

 

[Lila64]

I can't seem to get interested in this. I also couldn't get the itunes stream to work.

I had the same problem with iTunes. By some miraculous move, it played on my phone for a bit last night. Tried to replay, no luck. The last song stood out, but no idea what the song title is. Obviously need to hear it a few hundred more times.

 

[LemonMelon]

The instrumental breaks of the first track shamelessly rip off Down By The River.

Love the guitar tone though.

EDIT: Fever is one of the worst songs they've ever recorded, but I enjoy most of what I've heard regardless. I really like that shuffling beat in It's Up to You Now.

Tour dates:

No LA or SF date which makes me wonder if they will be at the Made in America and Treasure Island festivals.

Also, the folks who get to see St. Vincent open are the luckiest people in the world.

No LA date makes my choice easier.

 

[BoMac]

I may have to fly in to the Montreal show, although I'm already flying there to see Arcade Fire three weeks before.

Also, I'm really loving the album. And I've liked Fever since I first heard it.

 

[BoMac]

By the way, Patrick Carney said on Twitter about an hour ago that there will be more dates added, including So Cal.

 

[corianderstem]

Hey, I like the new album.

 

[PhilsFan]

The guitar part on "Waiting on Words" sounds like it was lifted from any solo John Frusciante album. Which isn't a bad thing. It just really jumped out at me.
