Duo play money-hungry televangelists in latest oddball clip

The power of rock and roll compels you! Dan Auerbach takes the pulpit in the new video for the Black Keys’ “Fever,” playing a sweaty televangelist preaching the good word of the band’s upcoming eighth studio album, Turn Blue.

Directed by Theo Wenner, it’s another characteristically quirky Black Keys clip, with Auerbach saving and proselytising, while his cohort, drummer Patrick Carney, nods vigorously in his nearby chair — and sneaks a few sips from a secret stash of booze. As Auerbach grows more and more imbued with the spirit of that old-time religion, so does his audience, leading to a riotous conclusion of hallelujahs, spasms, tongue speaking and fainting. Also, keep your eye trained on the ticker of donors at the bottom of the screen, you’ll see that Rolling Stone‘s David Fricke very sweetly pledged $300 to the cause.

Turn Blue is out on May 13th, and you’ll be able to catch the Black Keys a few days before when they play Saturday Night Live on May 10th.
