Turnstile most recently teamed up with BADBADNOTGOOD on a new EP, ‘New Heart Designs’. Released earlier this month (August 11), the collection comprises alternative, jazz-orientated re-workings of three songs from Turnstile’s third studio album, ‘Glow On’, which came out in 2021.
In a five-star review of ‘Glow On’, NME said that the album “goes wherever it damn pleases, scorching a new path for others in their wake. Sometimes not knowing where you’re going next is the most exciting thing possible.”
In March this year, Boygenius released their debut album, ‘The Record’. In a glowing five-star review of the album, NME wrote: “This debut is a gorgeous testament to what can happen when you allow yourself to fully be seen. Though each of the album’s 12 tracks could have fit nicely on one of their personal records, their work together takes on a brighter bolder existence, enabling them to light up individually and together at the same time. Bridgers, Dacus and Baker did the tedious work of getting to know each other artistically and collaboratively and then poured what they found out into the world. Now, we as listeners, get to benefit.”
