Turnstile have teamed up with BADBADNOTGOOD–the jazz group that have collaborated Odd Future, MF DOOM, and more–for New Heart Designs, an EP with re-imaginings of three songs from Turnstile’s 2021 album Glow On, “Mystery,” “Alien Love Call” (ft. Blood Orange), and “Underwater Boi.” (It’s in a similar spirit to their 2020 EP with Mall Grab, which featured clubby remixes of three Time & Space songs.) It opens with a chilled-out “Mystery,” which feels similar to the alternate intro of the song that Turnstile have been playing on tour, and then goes into a percussive, psychedelic take on “Alien Love Call” and an upbeat, jazzy rework of “Underwater Boi.” The whole EP comes with a video shot on tour by Fiddlehead/Basement member Alex Henery, who’s also Turnstile’s touring photographer, and Alex also edited it and co-directed it with Turnstile vocalist Brendan Yates. Check it out below.
