While the crowd was definitely more enthusiastic during Peripheral Vision, the apprehension of how Good Nature would sound, was replaced with euphoria, as it sounded incredible live. The whole atmosphere shifted once the band broke out into the first song of the night from Peripheral Vision, “Hello Euphoria.” The emo presence was back and the audience reached a new level of excitement, that increased with transition into one of their most popular songs off of Peripheral Vision, “Dizzy on the Comedown.” The shift in the atmosphere during the songs from Good Nature and Peripheral Vision was drastic, but not bad. While it got the crowd immediately involved, it was a pretty drastic change from the emo esque theme of the night. Turnover came onto stage and immediately kicked into gear singing the first single, “Super Natural” released for Good Nature. He was enticing to watch, and cemented himself as WRVU’s designated manic-pixie-dream-boy. It would be painstakingly difficult to find a more self-deprecating artist, but with constant references to sadness, messing with the cover art for Good Nature, and pretending that Turnover hated them, their persona meshed completely with the vibe. Mat Cothran, the frontman’s, stage presence was out of this world, jumping, stumbling, and faux fighting with his fellow band members. Sad vocals, underlined by eerily peaceful melodies, made sure that the emo-esque theme of the night was amplified to the max. Her haunting vocals, mix of subtle and driving melodies, and echoing rhythms set the tone for the night, as one that would bring out the angst in even the purest being.įollowing her, was Elvis Depressedly, whose name perfectly portrays the essence of the their sound. The first act of the night was Emma Ruth Rundle, a singer songwriter who brought a fresh soulful and emo twist to the genre. Since this is their first tour with the new album, the anticipation to see how they would sound was insurmountably high. Iconic for their sophomore album, Peripheral Vision, they drastically altered their sound in Good Nature, shifting away from emo-esque influences and focusing solely on optimistic dream rock indie vibes. At times, I find myself thinking about how long the current song is, and starting to check out.On October 18th, Turnover, the hallmark of Indie-Emo bands, played Exit/In, celebrating the release of their most recent album, Good Nature. 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.
