The Black Keys are definitely feeling the holy spirit in the official video for “Fever,” the first single off their upcoming Turn Blue album.
In the first major clip directed by Rolling Stone magazine photographer Theo Wenner (son of RS founder Jann Wenner), singer Dan Auerbach gets sweaty as a bug-eyed, sickly looking, holy rolling TV preacher spreading the gospel to his attentive flock.
Jumping, waving his bible and gesturing wildly while seated drummer Patrick Carney nods along approvingly, Auerbach pulls out all the stops to get his followers to call his donation hotline. Dial (646) 397-6172 for a bizarre message.
The duo will undoubtedly play the track on May 10 when they are the musical guests on “Saturday Night Live.”
