Alex pretty much made the entire instrumental of this track on his own and sent it over for me to add vocals and any extra stuff. We felt like we needed some UK Garage-leaning stuff towards the end of the album, to kinda mellow things out and make the album spiral into a corner, so Alex ran with that for the last two tracks. On the first layer, ‘Way Out’ is about a divide between two people (or two parts of yourself), wondering if it will ever be the same again. On a deeper level, I think it applies to a lot of stuff happening around us right now, especially in 2020.
lyrics
tidal wave
is coming down
and i’ll be on my way if i can’t figure it out
you say you’re
my renegade
does it mean you’re here to stay?
watch your chest
get sawed away
get a little upset with me
we don’t need a saint to save everything to be pushed away we just need a way out
down
to figure it out
we’ll hear the sound
and fill it up with so much doubt
then settle up scores break it down
then both regret
where we’re headed now
can we make it out?
you wanna go
but you said it all was back and forth and nothing’s wrong and now
we gotta find a way out
drowning in your head again can’t believe it’s happening your back is on the ground
I want to know if it’s all in your head and is it all because of me?
we’re back to lashing now
we gotta find a way out
no control of where we’re headed now
can we make it out?

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
