Review of Turnstyles 004 Hour 1: Gaby Kerpel


My father used to say when we’d be watching movies that all of a sudden turned too artsy or avant garde, “Jonny, they had me and now they lost me.” Turnstyles has not lost me. The music is a little more far out—as in further from the pop center-- than the last episode of I reviewed, but it’s all still pretty much compelling. The mixes are so nice and it continues to be an unalientaing way to learn more about new and experimental music. In this episode Sam Fuqua interviews Argentinean musician Gabby Kerpel and his questions are thoughtful and Kerpel’s music is fascinating, different sounding, and ultimately accessible, just like Turnstyles itself. It’s also upbeat enough to be played on a weekend afternoon.
