1 day ago | stereogum.com | Tom Breihan

Two days from now, Turnstile will release their hotly anticipated, widely debated new album Never Enough. We just ran our Premature Evaluation review. I think Eli Enis did great work on that, even though I like the album a lot more than he does.

“I can’t stand all the narcissists that got famous/ First thing you did was betray us/ All eyes on you, and all you can see is hatred/ Fuck these allies, they only love me when I beg for forgiveness.” Those lines come from “Distress Tolerance,” the bracing new track from the New Jersey-born, New York-based producer DJ Haram. “Distress Tolerance” started off as a poem that DJ Haram performed on tour.
