“Losing you is like cutting my fingers off”, Getz croons to close out the song. It feels more like a return to form than the rest of the album, but nonetheless sets the mood off with a captivating clap of sound, and exemplifies some of the best traits of the record. It unfolds into the most familiar Turnover song on the record as its guitar tones retreat to more distorted territory and crash into a climactic finish. Getz embraces his natural baritone voice and strides into frame, shouldering a melancholic recollection of love lost. A gusty wave of ambient electronics gradually roll in, giving way to gorgeous, shimmering guitar noodling. The album blooms into existence with the opening track “Cutting My Fingers Off”.

Peripheral Vision is a realization of Turnover’s ongoing evolution, and, unlike the works of other bands who have followed a similar path, comes fully into its own. The addictive melodies and mesmerizing, bouncy guitars have stayed course, just trained slowly into new territory. But if one traces Turnover back to the start, Peripheral Vision is not a radically unexpected departure so much as it is a natural continuation of the band’s sound. This transition into a more refined indie sound, a la Title Fight or Pianos Become the Teeth, is all too familiar to pop punk and hardcore fans as of late. From Magnolia, twinkling guitars and wandering emo vocals slowly gave way to vocalist Austin Getz shoegazing over hushed landscapes of ambient fretwork and mellowed drums.

Their debut full length, Magnolia, significantly trimmed the youthful uneasiness and frustration of their EP into a far more restrained, melodic record. However, the signs along this journey were all too apparent. Somewhere along the way, things changed, transforming their sound drastically and almost unrecognizably into the dreamy and summery soundscapes of Peripheral Vision. Their explosive self-titled EP, entrenched deeply in familiar pop punk angst of yesteryear, set them on an unexpected course. Something’s been brewing inside Turnover.
