Touting a feverishly melodic blend of guitars and synths, “Tumulte” is a consuming new track from Belgian band Turquoise. Dreamy synths lead initially, quickly exceling into a sturdy bass line and guitar adornments in post-punk and rock-forward veins. The glistening keys during the sweeping chorus strut a more dream-pop feeling, fully captivating; the ensuing ’80s-forward rhythms in the bridge to the next verses also stand out. Turquoise craft a magical sound with “Tumulte,” cleverly straddling dream-pop lushness with a hard-driving rhythmic rock backbone.
