It's a Memphis Special as we head to Tennessee for Turnstyles' new wax - a podcast by Richard and Tobin: Self confessed music addicts
from 2020-03-28T23:00
Turnstyles' debut LP on vinyl from Black and Wyatt Records is our focus of attention this week. We declare the show a Memphis Special. The surf-psych garage punk duo from Memphis pull the rug out from under our feet. They prove that after the death of The White Stripes that there is certainly still life in the guitar and drum duo outfit. In these days of international lockdown we are certainly looking at the intended launch party for this excellent debut LP being cancelled. We are fervent supporters of independent musicians here at Record Box HQ and would urge all our listeners to go preorder the vinyl here and help support these vibrant musicians and their label.
Apart from the obvious connection to Memphis in this week's show we do have other music from Tobin, and the introduction of Brooke Bentham is a welcome surprise. Her unique vocal delivery belies her South Shields ancestry, however, she's destined for stardom were sure.
Further to Brooke Bentham and friends of the show Fingers Like Saturn, Tobin features New Music from Khruangbin and Leon Bridges which fails to delight Richard despite its credentials as important and essential listening. What is Richard's problem with this track? Listen on to find out. Tobin manages to redress the balance with Bullion and the weird soundscape from Vanishing Twin. Apparently he's willing to share his vinyl with Richard, a sentiment that is most certainly not reciprocated.
