![]() ![]() All things from Travis Scott’s Rodeo, Tame Impala’s Currents, Beach House’s Depression Cherry, and even Bring Me The Horizon’s That’s The Spirit laid the groundwork for tonal re-imaginings that mainstream and underground acts took advantage of. The soundscape 2015 presented was one delighted in a re-energized sense of nuance and experimentation. I wouldn’t be the first to attest to this album’s value on a personal scale, considering it came out during a period in my life that was tumultuously anxiety driven. But it’s almost going to be ten years since Peripheral Vision was released, and with fall-winter around the corner, it seems the most fitting to explain just why Peripheral Vision, a punk album from 2015, should be highly regarded for the season. At one moment, we were sharing the darkness of depression and sense of incompleteness in Peripheral Vision’s “Hello Euphoria,” and the next, we shifted smoothly into a more contented space of summery nostalgia from the new album’s “Sunshine Type.I’m going to try to leave as much fluff about how this album revitalized the punk scene in the middle-late 10’s enough music publishers have gotten that point across. Like bands such as Title Fight and The Story So Far, Turnover’s ability to create music that naturally evolves as the band members - and fans - grow and transition into new phases of their lives makes their sound ever-relatable. In an interview with Vice, lead vocalist Austin Getz explained the shift in sound and lyrical perspectives between the two albums that we experienced during the show: “Where Peripheral Vision is when the adolescent part of my experience was ending and about the questions I had about life during that time, Good Nature attempts to answer them.” This reaction only intensified when “Super Natural,” the first song to be played from Good Nature, kicked in with its laid-back, airy rhythm and more optimistic lyrics - a clear contrast to the youthful frustrations and angsty self-loathing found in their earlier work. This made it perfect for the chosen setlist, a blend of songs featuring honest, emotional lyrics and intricate guitar melodies - a style that the band refined when they moved away from the heavier, punkier sound in their first album, Magnolia, to create the lush, dreamy albums Peripheral Vision and Good Nature.Įxcitement rippled through the crowd when guitarist Nick Rayfield played the initial notes of the night’s first song, “Cutting My Fingers Off,” setting the level of energy for the rest of the show. With its deep staircase down to the basement and compact size, Cyclone is one of the more intimate venues in Tokyo, much smaller than the size you’d expect Turnover to fill at concerts in the U.S. Not only was this to be the final show of the 2019 Japan tour, but it also marked the first time that fans here could finally hear the band’s latest songs in a live performance. The release of Good Nature, the band’s latest album, followed right after finishing their last Japan tour in 2017, so the buzz of anticipation among the crowd at Tokyo’s Cyclone was understandably intense. It’s been a long time coming for Japanese fans of Virginia-born dream pop band Turnover. ![]() A blend of pop punk and dream pop at Tokyo's Cyclone ![]()
