FLY AGAIN

Turnstile

A high-velocity anthem where melancholic piano chords collide with explosive hardcore riffs. It captures the exact moment grief transforms into a defiant hope.

FLY AGAIN sounds like the exact moment a heavy cloud breaks to let in a blinding ray of sun. It is a track that exists in the tension between the physical aggression of hardcore and the emotional vulnerability of a power ballad. The song opens with a lonely, staccato piano melody that feels almost alien in a punk context, only to be obliterated by a wall of thick, saturated guitars and a drum performance that feels like a heartbeat running at double time. It is music for the mosh pit, but also for the quiet realization that you are going to be okay.

Moments Worth Listening For
the jarring but beautiful transition from the lonely opening piano chords into the full-band explosion
the bridge where the percussion drops out for a moment of melodic suspension before the final chorus
the way the vocal delivery shifts from a rhythmic bark to a soaring melodic plea during the hook
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
