![]() Peripheral Vision solidifies the idea that Turnover is a band with its finger on the pulse of its generation: growing and learning with every release, but never failing to provide a relatable, cathartic experience for anyone listening. Songs like “Hello Euphoria” and “Like Slow Disappearing” highlight the new calmer, more subdued approach to songwriting, matched by Austin Getz’s somber, confessional lyrics that echo throughout songs as if his words were haunting every measure. Working again with Magnolia producer Will Yip (Title Fight, Circa Survive), Turnover’s latest record shows a band maturing to create their best effort: an ethereal, reverb-drenched soundscape blending elements of hazy dream pop and the delicate emo rock of yesteryear. The emotional honesty poured out over a number of anthemic releases has been a proven formula of success for the band, but on their sophomore LP Peripheral Vision, the band treads into deeper water. Produced by band favorite Will Yip, Peripheral Vision is a stark departure from the band’s more straightforward rock sound. Some of my personal favourite tracks from the album would be “Hello Euphoria,” “Dizzy On the Comedown” and “Intrapersonal.” I love each of the tracks individually for many reasons but these 3 are my particular favourites due to the lyrics, chord progressions used and differing sound created within each.Virginia Beach’s Turnover has never been a band afraid of telling the truth. Turnover return with sophomore LP Peripheral Vision, creating a new sound for the band that is one of ambience, purity, and serenity. Being an instrument hoarder, I recognised how beautiful the guitar and bass guitar were played and featured within the tracks and they really add to the chilled out feeling of the album. Each song feels like it follows on from the previous, making it the perfect album for a bus journey or chilling out in the evening, but due to how much I love it, I’ve had it on non-stop. The overall feel of the album is very calming yet moving. 1 Following the release of their debut album Magnolia (2013), Turnover parted ways with original guitarist Kyle Kojan, replacing him with Eric Soucy. Produced by Will Yip, the album was released on through Run for Cover Records. ![]() Before long, the entire set joins and creates the perfect introduction to a song and album.Īs mentioned before, I am not the biggest emo/pop punk fan due to having very little knowledge of the genre but my friend’s recommendation was spot on. Peripheral Vision is the second studio album by American rock band Turnover. ![]() It starts off very quiet and mysterious and then brings in guitar with vocals following close behind. I’m not a music expert and I’m only using my basic knowledge of rhythms and instruments but overall, the first track sets the mood and introduces the album very well. My friend that recommended the band and album to me described it as being a lot more “chilled and emo influenced” than ‘Magnolia’, their previous album and other albums and work before that.Īfter listening to the first song off of Magnolia and then listening to the first track of their newer album, you can immediately tell the difference in sound through the rhythm. They have just released their new album ‘Peripheral Vision’ and it’s quite different from their previous stuff. If you don’t know (like I didn’t), Turnover are a pop punk/emo band from Virginia. Peripheral Vision Review by Timothy Monger Virginia Beach quartet Turnover originally came out of the pop-punk scene, crafting a heavy, emo-inspired EP in 2011 and signing with Boston indie Run for Cover Records shortly afterward. ![]() Especially being told about this band as their new album has been the soundtrack to my past few days. Emo/pop punk bands have never really been my cup of tea, but when I started college, I was opened up to a brand new genre of music and I am so very thankful for it.
