About the album

Turnstile came up in Baltimore's hardcore scene, and Glow On keeps all that energy: short, punchy songs, two-step breakdowns and stage-dive-ready riffs. But with producer Mike Elizondo, they also brought in shimmering synths, Latin percussion, R&B moods and even a bit of dream pop, and the result sounds like a hardcore record made for a summer festival.

"Mystery" and "Blackout" are explosive openers, "Holiday" and "T.L.C. (Turnstile Love Connection)" are pure joy, and Dev Hynes adds his falsetto to "Alien Love Call" and "Lonely Dezires." Glow On turned Turnstile into one of the most exciting live bands on the planet.
