Turnstile Go All Ari Aster in the Pit in Double Video for ‘Seein’ Stars’ and ‘Birds’

Never Enough drops June 6

When Charli XCX dubbed it a “Turnstile Summer” at Coachella, it seems she meant it’s going to be a lush, ominous, head-cracking kind of season. That is, if the hardcore band’s new video for “Seein’ Stars” and “Birds” is any indication.

A perfect demonstration of Turnstile‘s dichotomy — blistering hardcore mixed with endlessly inventive melodies — the double video starts off dreamy, with a gaggle of dancers undulating to soaring vocals and Bill and Ted-esque electric guitars. Dev Hynes, a.k.a. Blood Orange, and Hayley Williams also lend vocals to “Seein’ Stars,” with the band’s Brendan Yates and Pat McCrory directing the visuals.

We then cut to a verdant hill — reminiscent of Ari Aster’s Midsommar — where drummer Daniel Fang leads a field full of thrashers in kicking off a mosh pit among the greenery as Yates tears into the blistering “Birds.”

Both songs come from Never Enough, the band’s long-awaited fourth studio album, following Glow On, which earned them two Grammy nods. “I always feel like there’s not really any measure of greatness when it comes to music because music can reach people in so many different ways and different scales. The impact it can leave on someone is impossible to measure,” Yates told Rolling Stone at the time. “Once you accept that, you can look at things through a different lens. Being recognized on one scale that’s a universally accepted platform — that somehow a band like ours from Baltimore is being recognized by different people from different worlds — is super cool and exciting.”

Never Enough — which was produced by Yates and features new guitarist Meg Mills — drops on June 6th.
