The hooks might need more massaging to emerge this time out, but the twist on “Breeze” reveals that Turnover are still the same band, talking about how to quantify success, how we get in the way of our own happiness, and of course, the way romantic fortunes can make the future seem as vast as the California coastline or as small as the room in your parent’s house. And then there’s the last line that ties it all together, “Let you keep eating my heart out with your silver spoon,” which could very well be an admission of defeat from a guy who’s way out of his league. Catch a few stray lines from the chorus-“I can’t stop you running through my head,” “it just makes me wanna go away, I’ll do it”-and it captures a perfect moment of dizzying infatuation between Bleed American’s summer swelter and the back-to-school wistfulness of American Football. Well, for one, none of their indie peers could write a song like “Breeze.” Taking advantage of Will Yip’s most verdant production, Turnover revisit the rhythmic propulsion and harmonized guitar sparkles that defined Peripheral Vision. So what exactly distinguishes Turnover now? But the perfectly lovely and interchangeable shimmers of “What Got in the Way” and “Curiosity” threaten to define Good Nature by passing without incident or much impact. Therein lies the conundrum for Turnover: though Peripheral Vision likely broadened the horizons of people who caught them opening for The Story So Far or New Found Glory, it was also uniquely appealing to seasoned indie rock listeners who found Real Estate a little too complacent or wished Wild Nothing could really kick out the jams.

His work is always fantastic, but it can be hard, based solely on listening, to nail down his sound. With its limpid jazz chords, “Pure Devotion” is the first Turnover song that could work at a poolside cocktail party. Turnover Peripheral Vision 4.0 excellent Review by lewisfisher USER ( 2 Reviews) August 17th, 2015 4 replies Release Date: 2015 Tracklist Review Summary: Listen to this album whilst on acid, you probably won't regret it. Turnover: ‘Peripheral Vision’ Album Review By Admin / At this point most people who are paying attention to this corner of the music world know what a master Will Yip is at producing records. The influences are more sedate and smooth this time out, Getz’s softened take on life accompanied by Tango in the Night harmonizing and brisk Brit-pop. But there are zero moments on Good Nature that have to be enjoyed through gritted teeth, and plenty that can be paired with your favorite Sonoma Valley grape. The flaws of Peripheral Vision derived almost entirely from the times Getz’s aggrieved point of view clashed with the newfound, sleek elegance of Turnover’s music. It was a great set showcasing an even better record they should have just played it in full, though.“I found my religion/When nothing was ahead of us/That week in California,” Getz sighs on the starlit carousel ride “Super Natural.” It’s an extremely low-key way to begin an album, but it’s still a bold introduction if only in contrast to where he was two years ago with Peripheral Vision’s thrilling streaks of self-loathing, “Cutting My Fingers Off” and “New Scream.” Regardless of his current location, Good Nature is SoCal to the core, a warm embrace of the area’s soft-focus spirituality and the optimism of young, beautiful creatives without much to worry about. The band eventually closed with “Cutting My Fingers Off” by which point it was boiling and sweaty in the venue. Tracks like “Take My Head”, “Like Slow Disappearing” and “Humming” got huge singalongs from the crowd. Luckily, they kicked things off with “New Scream” and showed just how much they’ve grown as a band across the past couple of years (they’ve come a long way from that average pop-punk band supporting I Am the Avalanche at Rock City Basement).Įven the new songs sounded great, one was a bit faster than anything on the stellar Peripheral Vision and ignited some movement.


Not the kind where it’s fun and busy, just to the point where people were having to stand behind the doors to even fit in the room. Now, by the time Turnover played, it was quite obviously too packed in the venue. The sound wasn’t too great, though, which let the set down, and it all merged into one by the end. Pop-punk band Claws did a better job at injecting some life into the crowd, and played some songs which were catchy and fun. The set was rather repetitive, but the band are doing a good job at what’s popular right now with some well-crafted songs. Teen Brains were up next and brought things back to the grungier side. They cover a lot of ground musically, and it works flawlessly. Local band Little Bribes kicked things off with their brand of alt pop-punk/emo and played a ridiculously confident set for a band with only a single out. Every time a band like Turnover plays in at The Bodega in Nottingham it gets surprisingly busy, see: The Hotelier, etc, but this show was packed to the walls from the second doors opened.
