Turnover
Virginia Beach's Turnover has never been a band afraid of telling the truth. 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. 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. 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. 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.
Artist Feature
There's a specific feeling you get when you listen to Turnover's most recent record, Peripheral Vision - it's full of a deep, reverb-y vibe that is comfortable and discerning at the same time, in all the best ways. Between hearing the record and seeing the way the band played those songs live made us incredibly excited to add Turnover to the Feed The Beat roster this year! A group of road-warrior musicians who have a LOT of touring on their plate before the year ends, they took a few minutes to talk with us:
