![]() ![]() My favourite has to be Like Slow Disappearing, with its chorus line of, “I was afraid, but you were glowing like a most relieving light / You were my revealing light” being perhaps my most-loved lyric from across the band’s albums. In this way, Peripheral Vision plays like an extended narrative, with each song having a deeper sense of purpose. While the album’s closing song, Interpersonal raises more questions than it answers about the voice’s mental state and their experiences with depression and paranoia. Opener Cutting My Fingers Off explores the side effects of lost love and the feelings of disembodiment that come with absence. The songs have fewer lyrics, and the atmospheric reveries make it a dreamy listening experience. Talking on the record, vocalist Austin Getz told Fader: “I always remember things better than they were and miss people more than I should.” This sentiment, of idealised realities that exist just outside our peripheral vision, captures the album perfectly. It’s the album I recommend to anyone and everyone – the one I listen to from start to finish, most days. A kaleidoscope of narratives on love, vulnerabilities and disorientation, it was a transition to a more indie, ‘crowd-pleasing’ record. The release of Peripheral Vision in 2015 marked a sonic shift for the band. ![]() ![]() The words on self-sabotage in relationships and the aching chorus – “cause I don’t wanna be alone/But I don’t wanna fall in love” – never fail to hit me like a kick in the stomach. Mid-track Read My Mind is one of my all-time favourite songs, and I would argue that it’s totally underrated. Consisting of three songs, the album is a confession of heartbreak, alienation and self-destruction, themes often associated with emo genres. The end of summer, and how those hazy, love-filled days will soon fade, set to a stripped-back acoustic instrumental.īetween Magnolia and Peripheral Vision comes Blue Dream (2014). Flicker and Fade cinches the top spot as my favourite song from the album, reminding me of the transportive nostalgia that permeates the later Good Nature (2017). Magnolia is a joyous amalgamation of the band’s sound – you can see their early roots, but also branches to the future. has fewer lyrics and the atmospheric reveries make it a dreamy listening experience Most of the Time and To The Bottom feature heavier guitar chords, as well as drums from Casey Getz, creating a dissonance between the lyrical notes and the pop-punk influenced instrumentation. The opening track Shiver evokes the influence of their earlier tracks, but I personally recommend Drown because of its introspective lyrics that listeners have come to cherish as a defining part of Turnover’s style. Before this, they’d only self-released a handful of demos and a joint EP with Ohio rockers Citizen, rather aptly named Split. Released in 2013 after the band signed with Run for Cover Records, Magnolia is the band’s first studio album and falls on the emo/pop-punk trajectory of their discography. There’s a reason they were my most-streamed artist of 2020. Their four studio albums demonstrate their range, while also staying loyal to poignant lyrics that cut just as deep as the first time you heard them. Since forming in 2009, Turnover have moved on from their pop-punk roots to melodies suffused in jazz and dreamy indie-pop. Reflecting on their personal significance to her own life, Emma Stirland takes a look at the woozy rocker’s career thus far. ![]() In their glorious fusing of funk, lounge, and disco with a trademark indie grit, Ohio collective Turnover have become one of the most-loved bands on the alternative circuit. ![]()
