Hope You’re Listening to Turnip King

carsongA few weeks ago, Turnip King popped up on my radar with their track “Metonymy,” which was our first listen to their forthcoming LP. Now, they’ve left us all with this dreamy new tune and it’s accompanying video, which features cropped images atop images…in my eyes, the video encompasses the beautiful moments of life, even the silly ones turning into meaningful ones. The song itself is like a dreamier, noisier Mazzy Star with the distortion billowing out to greet the harmony. Look for Laika on August 19th via Fire Talk.

Turnip King Aims to Impress…and Succeeds

turnipkingThe word lo-fi gets tossed around all the time nowadays, and we’re definitely guilty of throwing it out there too, but I think the music that Turnip King has created definitely accomplishes that sound perfectly.  There’s a bit of tape fuzz on the edges of this song, though the group has their hands wrapped tightly around pop songwriting; they just choose to go off in a more explorative direction on this track. Fire Talk Records will be releasing the band’s new Moon Landing? EP on May 28th, and I appreciate the fact that I have no idea what to expect, other than I know it will be pretty solid.
