Turnstile continue to ride the line between hardcore royalty and pop culture anomaly—somewhere between Minor Threat and The 1975, if you squint hard enough. And as expected, reactions to their new material have been split. The title track “Never Enough,” released earlier this month, triggered a wave of mixed feedback. But the band keeps moving, and that’s something worth respecting. With the release of a double video for “Seein’ Stars” and “Birds,” they deliver two more glimpses into their upcoming full-length, and this time the energy feels more grounded, more purposeful.
The video, directed by Brendan Yates and Pat McCrory, leans fully into mood and movement. Shot with a low-fi, spontaneous aesthetic, it trades slick polish for something that feels lived-in and instinctive. The second half, featuring “Birds,” is especially effective—both visually and musically. It’s airy without losing bite, built around a hypnotic bass groove from Franz Lyons and subtle guitar work from Meg Mills and McCrory that avoids excess but carries weight.
“Seein’ Stars” features added vocals by Devonté Hynes (Blood Orange) and Hayley Williams (Paramore), layered with enough restraint to blend into Turnstile’s world rather than pull it out of shape. Their contributions feel more like textures than centerpieces, a quiet expansion of the band’s sonic reach. The track doesn’t chase hooks—it drifts, sways, then tightens up with rhythmic clarity when needed.
The new material previews Never Enough, Turnstile’s first full-length release since Glow On. That album earned the band four Grammy nominations and helped open doors to wider audiences, but it also came with expectations and criticism. This new phase, self-produced by Brendan Yates and recorded between L.A. and Baltimore, seems determined to shrug off that baggage. “Never Enough” doesn’t try to outdo Glow On—it swerves instead.
The band will mark the album’s release with a show on June 6 at Under The K Bridge in Brooklyn, joined by Teezo Touchdown, Boy Harsher, and Big Boy. From there, Turnstile head into a dense run of EU and UK dates, including Primavera Sound (Barcelona and Porto), Outbreak Fest in London, Hellfest in France, Jera On Air in the Netherlands, and a return to Glastonbury. They’ll also appear at Ottawa Blues Fest, Aftershock in California, and III Points in Miami.
Never Enough is available for pre-order, with multiple vinyl editions via the band’s store. The full lineup remains intact—Brendan Yates on vocals, synth and keys, Franz Lyons on bass, Pat McCrory and Meg Mills on guitars, and Daniel Fang on drums. Fifteen years in, Turnstile are still shifting. Not always cleanly, not always smoothly, but still shifting—and in their own way, that’s the whole point.
