Virginia Beach group Turnover will celebrate 10 years of their beloved 2015 album, ‘Peripheral Vision’, with a series of shows in 2025. With a smattering of American dates lined up for the spring and summer, the quartet will play a one-off UK date in the Autumn.
It’ll take place at The Roundhouse in London on Saturday, September 13th.
As you can expect, the run of shows will see Turnover perform ‘Peripheral Vision’ in full live for the first time.
Upon its release in May 2015, the Will Yip-produced album saw Turnover depart from their emo/pop-punk sound in favour of a blissful dream-pop sound. The album was praised by critics for its dynamic sound while retaining the band’s catchy melodies.
Considerably, Turnover‘s use of shoegaze elements on ‘Peripheral Vision’ in their emotive music has influenced many over the past nine years.
On a personal level, ‘Peripheral Vision’ is an album I still regularly revisit, especially a handful of tracks; ‘New Scream,’ ‘Dizzy On The Comedown,’ ‘Diazepam,’ and ‘Cutting My Fingers Off’.
Since its release, Turnover have released three albums. 2017’s ‘Good Nature’ maintained the dream-pop sound of its predecessor albeit even more mellower. Likewise, ‘Altogether’ from 2019 incorporated hints of jazz and funk into their indie rock fabric. The chilled-out vibes continued on 2022’s ‘Myself in the Way’. Citing Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ and The Beatles’ ‘Magical Mystery Tour’ as influences, it saw the band in a somewhat lethargic mood.
Admittedly, since ‘Good Nature’, my interest in Turnover has waned and I struggled to engage with their recent releases.
Nevertheless, it’s great to see Turnover realise the importance of ‘Peripheral Vision’ to people and are willing to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
