Turnover peripheral vision new wave8/14/2023 But you can tell that they come to their new sound from a realm that prizes vocal, lyrical and sonic clarity-Austin Getz's vocals are unusually upfront and legible for this style of music, and Will Yip’s production is crystalline and sleek. In Turnover's case, their pop punk past is nipping at their heels: Their self-titled debut EP justly earned the tag, and even after 2013’s Magnolia smoothed out some of their more Warped Tour affectations, they were doing shows with Dashboard Confessional 2.0, This Wild Life, and the perpetually short-pantsed, hair-gelled schlubs in New Found Glory as recently as last month. In each instance, a traditionalist punk band goes headfirst into more aqueous forms of indie rock, but retain qualities which put them at an advantage over the countless wan, limp bands who decided to sound like the Smiths from the beginning. At times, I find myself thinking about how long the current song is, and starting to check out.Quite the coincidence that Peripheral Vision shares a very similar name as Title Fight’s risky, triumphant reinvention Hyperview, as well as its producer. My only gripes are that 1) the three singles lead the tracklist, so it's tough for me to listen on because of how well I know them, and 2) the songs are a fair bit longer on average than their previous stuff. Will Yip did a fucking amazing job with it, as well, but that's not a surprise to anyone. Following a record like Title Fight's Hyperview, the bar was set really high for bands moving toward dream pop/shoegaze/new wave/whatever influences, and I think Turnover hit the mark here.Īs for sound, there are definitely dream pop and new wave influences on this album (or at least, it sounds like it - this record is unashamedly poppy). But they made a nice transition into a new sound, and it was a pretty bold move to dive into the deep end of one in the first place. It differs from Turnover's previous stuff more than I had anticipated, even having heard the three singles. So far, I'm really happy with this album. To preface my opinion on the album, you should go and grab it now before the official release, because that is a fucking steal. If you didn't know, Turnover's new album, Peripheral Vision has been streaming for a few days, and in light of it leaking, Run For Cover Records has released it for $5 on their Bandcamp. Thought I'd start this one to go along with the Superheaven thread. No direct image links, these should be put in a self/text post.ĭo not share/request illegal download links or streams.
