Turnip King makes the type of music that moves your appendages to pick pine needles from your sweater. The stuff that makes sleeping next to someone feel more relaxing yet detaching than ever. Like you’re both two flawed birds, afraid to get off the ground but happy to huddle together for warmth. They make songs to shoot jumpers alone in your driveway to. Songs to walk to the corner store to. They make the soundtrack to empty drives, with mashed roaches in the ashtray as the wind lifts the finished smoke out your open windows.
“Carsong” is off of Turnip King’s LP Laika, out 8/19/16 via Brooklyn imprint Fire Talk.
