New music: Turnstile, Sunflower Bean, Pool Kids, Kathleen Edwards, The Happy Fits

Turnstile: I Care

---

This Baltimore group has been billed as "punk-hardcore" since its origin in 2010; its website is turnstilehardcore.com; and every review of its new, fourth album, Never Enough, seems to insist it still fits that genre. But as newcomers to Turnstile, we think a better descriptor is "versatile." The LP has some hard-edged tracks and parts of tracks, but they're mixed with strains of indie-pop, shoegaze, classic rock and even jazz and reggaeton. On this and other songs, lead vocalist Brendan Yates seems to channel Sting. Well, after all, The Police were pretty damn hardcore in their day. (Photo by Alexis Gross)

Sunflower Bean: Take Out Your Insides

---

We've been spinning "Champagne Taste" and "Nothing Romantic," and now with the full release of Mortal Primetime we're featuring this track that Under the Radar calls "sublime ... heartfelt, folky, and quietly devastating." The lyric is a plea to a friend or lover to share inner thoughts and feelings. Paste says the LP may be the "best album of the trio's career. Because after 10+ years of flirting with nearly every classic-rock trope under the sun, [its new record] casts aside the traditional rock-band impetus to choose an era, genre, and style of rock and roll’s past to emulate - and instead embraces all of them. "

Pool Kids: Easier Said Than Done

---

We're glad to hear these kids from Tallahassee, Fla., have a new album on the way. This first single is the title track, which vocalist Christine Goodwyne says reflects on how obsessive-compulsive disorder "can just rob your life of joy. Things can be going so well, and then it just sucks any enjoyment out of it." She sings: "I told you I know how to have fun / If only I could let go, it’s easier said than done."

---

Kathleen Edwards: Save Your Soul

---

The Canadian singer-songwriter says she decided to call her new album Billionaire "because the word is used in such a caustic way these days. But we should all want to be billionaires in life, to be rich in experience, friendship, purpose, and the pursuit of the things that bring us joy." OK but this song's lyric is clearly about monetary riches: "Line your pockets with gold / Who’s going to save your soul?" The LP, due in August, is co-produced by Jason Isbell, who also contributes guitar, keys and backing vocals.

The Happy Fits: Everything You Do

---

Three friends from the outer 'burbs of New Jersey formed this band in 2016, and had released an EP and three LPs by 2022. Since then the lineup has changed, with lead singer Calvin Langman and drummer Luke Davis now joined by Nico Rose and Raina Mullen on guitar and backing vocals. Langman says he wrote this song, from their upcoming album Lovesick, "shortly after moving to Brooklyn to live alone for the first time in my life. Maybe it’s just my social circles and algorithm, but I feel there’s a shared feeling amongst everyone right now of being overworked, underpaid, and underloved. 'Everything You Do' is my own internal battle of fighting for my heart vs. being practical and rational. Knowing me, the heart always finds a way to win."

New releases from Yellowcard, Garbage, Caamp, Mt. Joy & Gigi Perez, Grace Potter

---

Yellowcard: Better Days

---

Here's the title track from the Florida alt-rockers' first full album in nearly a decade, due in October. Blink-182's Travis Barker produced and added his drums to every song. The band describes this number as an "unflinching reflection on gratitude, perspective and purpose."

---

Garbage: Hold

---

With the release of Let All That We Imagine Be The Light, the band's eighth studio album, we're adding this track that Melodic Magazine calls "a rallying cry for a generation lost in grief and rage - a standout track that feels tailor-made for the times." Written during frontwoman Shirley Manson’s recovery from hip surgery, the LP is "steeped in reflection and resilience, anchored by a refusal to succumb to despair," writes Under the Radar.

---

Caamp: Mistakes

---

Just months after dropping an EP, Somewhere, but three years after its last LP, the Ohio group is back this week with a full album, Copper Changes Color. This song is said to be inspired by frontman and primary songwriter Taylor Meier’s time in New York City, and seems to describe the early stages of getting to know a potential romantic partner: "Can I get to know you, honey / And all of your lovely mistakes? / I've got more than a few to show you."

---

Mt. Joy, Gigi Perez: In The Middle

---

This Philadelphia group broke big with its third album, 2022’s Orange Blood. They return with Hope We Have Fun, which includes guest spots by Nathaniel Rateliff and Gigi Perez. Frontman Matt Quinn says he co-wrote this song with Perez at a songwriter retreat, without knowing that she'd just had her own breakout with “Sailor Song.” “I probably would’ve been really nervous if I knew that she was this star songwriter and singer, so I think it just really worked in our favor,” Quinn says. “It was just two people working on a song together.”

---

Grace Potter: Before The Sky Falls

---

In a post announcing her new release, Medicine, Potter says: "Seventeen years ago, I stepped into the studio with the legendary T Bone Burnett to create an album that captured a raw, authentic sound. That album was shelved and remained unheard - until now." Glide Magazine reports that "Potter’s label was unhappy with the softer direction, which they saw as off-brand for the rock star persona they were building." Eight of the songs were reworked and re-recorded for 2010's Grace Potter and The Nocturnals. Our pick for the New Music bin is a song that was never previously released.

Suzanne Vega, The Beths, OK Go, Adult Leisure, Turnstile land in our New Music Bin

---

Suzanne Vega: Speakers' Corner

---

It's surprising to realize that Flying With Angels is just the 10th studio album in a discography that begins with 1985's Suzanne Vega. But the songs are as sharply observed and beautifully crafted as ever. This opening track slyly comments on today's political situation by emphasizing with someone ranting on a streetcorner - "The doomsday prophet / Whose words have all come true."

---

The Beths: Metal

---

It's good to hear again from this Auckland, N.Z., quartet. Since 2022's Expert In A Dying Field, vocalist Elizabeth Stokes says she has "been on what one might call a 'health journey.' For parts of the last few years, I kind of felt like my body was a vehicle that had carried me pretty well thus far but was breaking down, something I had little to no control over." This single, she says, is "about being alive and existing in a human body."

---

OK Go: Love

---

We dip once more into And the Adjacent Possible to feature this track that Rolling Stone calls "a charming, yet hard-charging tune that pairs crunchy guitars with a tender message: “In this grand ballroom of nothingness / We soar, we sail to the only song there’s ever been: Love.”

---

Adult Leisure: See Her

---

The band from Bristol put out an EP in 2023, and now is prepping its debut album, Things We Don't Know Yet. It will include this new single that features guest saxophone from John Waugh, known for collaborations with The 1975 and Sam Fender. The song is billed as "a sarcastic take on the breakdown of a relationship and the biting realisation that you're happier now that it's over."

---

Turnstile: Never Enough

---

This is the title track from the upcoming fourth album by this Baltimore group. Pitchfork says the "experimental hardcore band sinks deeper into its stylistic hallmarks" on the track, and "sound[s] rigid and fluid at once, playing into blasted guitars and dreamy interludes that tempt escapism."

What's New: Sunflower Bean, My Morning Jacket, Faded Paper Figures, The Darcys, Free Range

---

Sunflower Bean: Nothing Romantic

---

This indie trio, formed in Brooklyn in the mid-teens, took a break after 2022's Headful of Sugar - "walking away with no promise of coming back, moving to different states, floating in the abyss," as the band puts it. "Yet there was also a language that pulled us back together, the dream that there was more we needed to say together." They reunited and put out an EP last year, and now follow with their fourth album, Mortal Primetime. AllMusic says the LP showcases "the group's hard-won maturity and broad musical influences, balancing guitar-heavy rock with AM pop and introspective singer/songwriter ballads."

---

My Morning Jacket: Half A Lifetime

---

We pull another solid track from Jim James & co.'s 10th album (annoyingly titled is). New Noise Magazine says has "upbeat and funky energy" as its lyric "dives into the longer journeys of life and all the little moments that suddenly add up."

---

Faded Paper Figures: Forget All The Days We Died

---

This trio is working on its seventh album of synthpop - Triangles - while balancing their "day jobs" as a physician (Heather Alden), an English professor (R. John Williams) and a composer for film and TV (Kael Alden). We've been including their music in our mix for nearly a decade, and we're happy to present this early taste of the LP due in the fall.

---

The Darcys: Dreaming

---

Now based in LA, this duo from Toronto released Rendering Feelings last fall, so we're late picking up this track, but it was just issued as a single. Jason Couse and Wes Marskell say this song is "about the irreversible damage we’re inflicting on the planet and how our individual efforts to create change often fall on the deaf ears of those in power. ... If anything, we probably should have called the song Nightmares."

---

Free Range: Concept

---

The sophomore album from this Chicago indie-Americana band, Lost & Found, is a set of songs about that time of life when you’re transitioning out of adolescence and into adulthood, grappling with self-discovery and self-acceptance, and feeling alone but seeking connection. So lead singer Sofia Jensen tells Paste Magazine. This track is one of the higher-energy, rocking numbers on the LP.
