It’s a sonically-rich affair that yet again, highlights the band’s changing look and corresponding soundscapes their constant state of forward-thinkingness on display as they continue to pave a path into hook-rich indie-pop - a fair, fair distance away from the quick-pacing ferocity of their debut all that time ago. This week, we’re celebrating the release of Turnover’s fourth record Altogether, arriving via Run For Cover/Cooking Vinyl Australia today: Friday, November 1st. A three-track release the year following took them into a new direction followed on their acclaimed 2015 record Peripheral Vision, while on 2017’s Good Nature, things change again. Their debut, self-titled EP in 2011 is thick with the punchy guitar riffs of the world’s then-punk state, while their debut album two years later, Magnolia, shifts itself between the punk-rock ferocity that defined the band’s explosiveness and shadings of areas they’d come to later explore: dreamy shoegaze, emo-pop lyrical longing, subtle guitar-backed beginnings that hint at an indie-toned future before launching into the sound they were then-characteristic for. In the ten years since their formation, Turnover have presented many opportunities to change and evolve their sound - and that, they did. “No matter what mood you’re in, there’s a Turnover song to match it” may not be a popular saying, but at this point, it may as well be. In a way, this is because of Turnover’s gradual shift from a Virginia group classed amongst pop-punk’s rising stars to something so much more than that their experimentation and growth as an outfit meaning that not one release of theirs is like the other. Yet, Turnover have somehow always remained relevant across these long ten years of change, seemingly without trying to - something that can’t even be said for some of the biggest, highly-publicised popstars to blossom simultaneously to the band and their early work. In 2019, they celebrate their tenth anniversary as a band (and eight years since their debut, self-titled EP) - a decade in which the industry built around them has welcomed (and often, quickly farewelled) new technology and glimpses of viral, constantly-shifting trends. For a band with longevity like Turnover, change is inevitable.
