Turnover reveals upcoming album titled Down On Earth
Down On Earth marks the return of the band after a four-year hiatus since their last album, Myself in The Way, in 2022. While the past years saw a deluxe reissue of their 2015 album, Peripheral Vision, the new singles from Down On Earth, “Nightjar” and “I See You and Realize,” showcase a new musical direction influenced by their roots in dream-pop, psychedelia, and alt-rock.
Transitioning away from their long-standing partnership with Run For Cover Records, Turnover has taken the reins with an independent release for Down On Earth. Working closely with their front-of-house engineer Zac Montez, who undertook the production duties for the album, the band aimed to capture the raw energy and essence of their live performances. Through this record, Turnover delves into themes of love, death, loneliness, and contemplations on the afterlife, drawing upon their personal experiences and reflections on these profound aspects of life.
The tracklist for Down On Earth presents a collection of songs that resonate with the journey and evolution of the band’s sound and lyrical exploration. Starting with “Wheelie For No One,” the album sets the tone for introspection and self-discovery. Tracks like “My Hand is a Curtain” and “Pieces” delve into the complexities of human emotions and relationships. “I’m Up, I’m Up” and “Ultrasensitive” offer glimpses into vulnerability and introspection, while “Off Into the Lonesome Sky” and “Spade Head” provide moments of reflection and contemplation.
The artwork for Down On Earth complements the thematic depth of the album, offering a visual representation of the band’s introspective journey and musical evolution. Through each song and visual element, Turnover invites listeners on a profound and emotive exploration of the human experience, delving into the depths of emotion, existence, and the complexities of life.
Overall, Down On Earth stands as a testament to Turnover’s growth and evolution as a band, showcasing their musical prowess and emotional depth. With this new release, Turnover invites listeners to immerse themselves in a sonic and lyrical journey that traverses the highs and lows of the human experience, offering moments of introspection, vulnerability, and contemplation. Through their independent release and collaborative approach to production, Turnover delivers a poignant and resonant album that captures the essence of their live performances and the raw emotional honesty that has defined their music throughout the years.
