Guest Poster Cassidy: Turnstile - 'Seein' Stars'

I recently just discovered this band due to SiriusXMU (once again, thank you Jenny). Each time I hear this in the car, which recently has been on my work commute, I am instantly hypnotized. 

This song instantly reminds me of 80s synth, and actually, the first time I heard this song I had to Google if it was sampled; to my surprise, no sampling. This song is reminiscent of The Cure or early 80's U2, with its music style. The video itself reminds me of an artiste 80's music video that would premiere on VH1 or MTV. 

Then comes the last part of the song: an absolute switch up from the majority of what we have heard as listeners. It throws you for a loop and makes you question if you are listening to the same song and band. Again, myself, I had to conduct a sanity check. 

This song is an earworm and is worth the listen for its unique style. I actually had never heard of Turnstile before I heard them on SiriusXM a few months ago, and just recently discovered that Steve has been in the know about them.

Wow, do I have some catching up to do.
