Turnstyles and Junkpiles is a simple record on the surface but is actually quite innovative with layers of textures. Nice to see musicians with diverse backgrounds and projects record an album that shows an appreciation for a good melody. One of the best albums I have purchased in a long time. Makes you want to take a drive... you know

turnstyles and junkpiles, upon first listen, is one of the simplest albums i have ever purchased. however, with each successive listen, i hear more and more complexity. the folk-ness expressed in each song is completely genuine and rather groundbreaking, considering the complexities that most of these artists usually work with. it impresses to hear the range of influences that the performers invoke, from bluegrass to the hints of judaism on lyasna. it is one of the best albums i have purchased in quite sometime and as usual, bettina richards' taste in what she puts out on her thrill jockey label astounds me.

the gondola moves back and forth on the peaceful water of Venice, and just as you hear the wood creak as the gondolier rows with his powerful arms, we hear a guitarist churn out the notes that soothe us forward as we hear is chair creaking in rhythymic leanings.

This album is superb. Try track 6.
