About half of the songs on the album were written during a solo trip in January of 2020 to Panda Studios in the Bay Area. I isolated myself to the east wing of the studio for 3 weeks and tried to write a new song every day. Up to that point we had about 45 instrumentals but we didn’t feel they were really moving the needle for us. We really wanted this album to be something new and something to really push the boundaries again. ‘Out Of Sight’ came together towards the beginning of that trip. I started out with the intention of wanting to have a song with acoustic guitar, as we have never really had any up to that point. It ended up much different than I anticipated when I added in all of the other production. The instrumental came together super quickly and then we added real drums with co-producer Sam Pura at his studio, Panda. Lyrically, the song is about being indecisive to the point where you’d rather not even have to decide anymore. It’s something I used to deal with quite a bit. I think everyone’s been there.
lyrics
you told me that you want
to leave but you won’t
you told me that you want to believe but you don’t see
that chains above
leave eyes shut open wide
you’re lonely
and you only believe what let the mirror decide
drown in love
thorns on either side
you tell me you want to adorn but you only divide
you said you want to bloom but you’re nervous of light you want to float
but you only fight
you’re all in
when it starts to spin
it doesn’t feel right then you’re out of sight
until something brings you around
you wait and hope you’re wanted found
you think you fool me when you pretend you’re
deaf to sound
but i know
that you love suffering In your self-made crown

One of my favorite albums of all time. Turnover really hit a sound here that resonates with me deeply, and I often find myself coming back to this record and falling in love with it all over again. The drums and bass are greatly underrated on this album, creating their own unique melodies that fit within the song and create something new rather than just follow the guitars. Nothing beats the somehow joyful and somber sound of this record. Rob Carpenter
Sludge, Shoegaze, Atmospheric, Heavy Metal, Alt-metal, you name it. This album has it all, and it is perfect. It came out during a rough time period of my life and others lives too. It's been the soundtrack for all of my pain. Thank you Hum tawper
They come right out of the gate with the first three tracks. I love this album and it headbanger qualities. Changing Lanes is a nice stripped down song in the center of the tracklist and slows it all down before the record gradually picks up speed again.
The closing song is one of their best ballads/songs. The cello and tone sends me straight back to the 90's.
Staying on par with the previous record was a tough act to follow and they managed it flawlessly in my opinion. stargazing robot
Melodic alt-pop in the vein of Soccer Mommy is driven by winding guitar lines and augmented with dreamy shoegaze elements. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 14, 2021
