Turnstile have taken part in triple j’s longstanding segment ‘Like A Version’, and put their spin on one of the best songs of all time.
That song is ‘I Wanna Be Adored’ by The Stone Roses, a track that, 37 years after its release, still sounds outrageously fresh and beautifully complex. It also makes sense that Turnstile would have such an affinity for the band and their atmospheric, dreamy, powerful soundscapes, as much of the same craftsmanship can be found in their own work. Pushing boundaries, shifting perceptions and making music that speaks to the soul as much as it lingers in the ear, that is the whole point.
And the band do an incredible job of blending their own style of playing with that of Ian, Mani, John and Remi. Delicate synth builds, caustic chord playing, and Brendan Yates’ caramel croons, it is a wonderful sight to behold.
And as the band made their way to Manchester this past weekend for the BRITs, it feels incredibly fitting.
The band will be taking over Halifax’s Piece Hall, a 5500-capacity outdoor venue, on August 26 for an exclusive headline show in the UK. They will also be playing at All Points East on August 28 as support for Tyler, The Creator.
